Lateral aberration

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-003266

A type of optical aberration where different wavelengths of light or rays from different parts of the aperture are focused at different positions in the image plane, perpendicular to the optical axis. This results in color fringing or blurring at the edges of the image. It is also known as transverse chromatic aberration.
