AIM To compare higher order aberrations in two aspherical intraocular lenses (IOLs): Akreos advanced optics (AO) and Dr. Schmidt Microcrystalline 6125 aspheric anterior surface (MC6125AS) with each other. METHODS Forty eyes of 39 patients underwent phacoemulsification and Akreos AO and MC6125AS were implanted in their eyes in a random manner. Three months post-operatively, higher order aberra...

The wave-front aberration of the human eye was measured for eight subjects using a spatially resolved refractometer (a psychophysical ray-tracing test). The eyes were undilated and presented with accommodative stimuli varying from 0 to -6 diopters. Monochromatic wave-front aberrations tend to increase with increasing levels of accommodation, although there are substantial individual variations ...

The resolution of a scanning transmission electron microscope remains 100 times worse than its theoretical limit owing to the spherical aberration of objective lens. Ikuta proposed a system to generate an aberration-free amplitude image and phase image using multiple small detectors with real-time signal processing. This study shows the performance optimization results of its signal processing ...

The initial announcement of two successful alternative geometries of successful aberration correctors for TEM [1] and STEM [2] in 1997 has led to significant improvements in spatial resolution and the availability of higher probe current densities for analysis. There are now in excess of 400 aberration correctors installed worldwide. The Oxford-JEOL 2200MCO was the first instrument fitted with ...

We extend the method for the automatic computation of high-order optical aberration coefficients to include (1) a finite object distance and (2) an infinite entrance pupil position (telecentricity in object space). We present coefficients of the power series expansion of the transverse aberration vector with respect to the normalized aperture and field coordinates. Aberration coefficients of ve...

with a negative spherical aberration designed to compensate for positive spherical aberration found in the cornea of the typical cataract patient. However, these lenses depend on precise positioning. A small offset in centration may result in significant higher order aberrations such as coma, along with significant visual impairment. These negative spherical aberration IOLs are contra-indicated...

Three radially symmetric and two first order rotational test targets were systematically tested for sensitivity and orthogonality by observing the change in the onaxis image intensity from the unaberrated cases in the presence of 0.05 waves peak of the corresponding 5 aberrations. The results are shown in Figure 4. Here each column corresponds to one of the test targets and each row corresponds...

Design of a new aberration corrected Photoemission electron microscope PEEM3 at the Advanced Light Source is outlined. PEEM3 will be installed on an elliptically polarized undulator beamline and will be used for the study of complex materials at high spatial and spectral resolution. The critical components of PEEM3 are the electron mirror aberration corrector and aberration-free magnetic beam s...

METHODS: Assuming that cyclotorsion error can be estimated and compensated for with a certain level of uncertainty, we formulate a function to modify the wavefront error in order to minimize the residual aberration magnitudes due to cyclotorsion measurement uncertainty. A modal optimum nomogram factor is computed for minimization of the residual aberration for each Zernike mode. We also calcula...

Motivated by a Bayesian framework, we propose a new minimum aberration type criterion for designing experiments with twoand four-level factors. The Bayesian approach helps in overcoming the ad hoc nature of effect ordering in the existing minimum aberration type criteria. Moreover, the approach is also capable of distinguishing between qualitative and quantitative factors. Numerous examples are...
