achromatic lens lens Lens (or combination of lenses) that brings different wavelenghts within a ray of light to a single focus, thus overcoming chromatic aberration. It was first successfully made by Joseph von Fraunhofer.

achromatic objective achromatic lens A lens of two or more components with different refraction indices (e.g., crown glass and flint glass), used to correct for chromatic aberration.
