Abstract
We demonstrate use of the gradient-index (GRIN) spectral model to design an
achromatic low-power GRIN microscope objective. This new GRIN microscope
objective, using simpler lens configurations, exhibits a performance that is
superior to the commercially available conventional objectives. We provide
various design considerations and useful guidelines to suggest how the GRIN
spectral model is useful in arriving at improved designs in performance and
configurations for modern optical systems.
