Abstract

Original Schmidt-like spherical aberration corrector is designed. Corrector consists of spherical surfaces, and it can be used for telescopes and cameras instead of aspherical Schmidt corrector for the ground and space optics. Corrector can be easily made of any transparent material - fused quartz, UBK7 glass, etc., for very large spectral region - from IR to UV. These optical systems are especially recommended for space telescopes intended for observation of the large fields in a large spectral region
