Eyepieces
An eyepiece, or ocular lens, is a type of lens
that is closest to the eye when someone looks
through the optical device.
The eyepiece is placed near the focal point of
the objective to magnify this image.
The amount of magnification depends on
the focal length of the eyepiece.
The lens or combination of lenses in an optical instr
ument (microscope, telescope, etc.) through which t
he observer views the image
formed by the objective. The most common eyepiec
es are composed of two single lenses or two doublet
s: the lens or doublet nearer
the eye is called the eye lens and the one nearer the
objective is called the field lens.
The role of the eyepiece is to magnify the
image and to reduce the aberrations of the image fo
rmed by the objective.
Negative eyepiece :Eyepiece made up of two lens
es, in which the first principal focus of the eyepiec
e lies between the two lensessuch as in a Huygens'
eyepiece.
Positive eyepiece: Eyepiece made up of two lense
s in which the first principal focus of the eyepiece
lies in front of the field lens, such
as in a Ramsden eyepiece.
Types of Eyepieces
1.Ramsden Eyepiece
2.Huygens Eyepiece
Ramsden Eyepiece
An eyepiece consisting of two plano-
convex crown-glass lenses of
equal focal length, placed with the convex sid
es facing each other andwith a separation bet
ween the lenses of about two-
thirds of the focal length of each.
Huygens Eyepiece
• A telescope eyepiece consisting of two planoconvex
lenses separated by a distance equal to half the sum of
their focal lengths, which are in the ratio of three to
one, and oriented so that their curved surfaces face
the incident light..
Comparison of Ramsden & Huygens
Eyepiece
Ramsden Eyepiece Huygens Eyepiece
Ramsden’s eyepiece is a positive eyepiece.
The image formed by the objective lies in
front of the field lens. Therefore , crosswires
can be used.
Huygen’s eyepiece is a negative eyepiece. The
image formed by the objective lies in between
the two lenses. Therefore crosswires cannot be
used.
The condition for minimum spherical
aberration is not satisfied. But by spreading
the deviations over four surface ,spherical
aberration is minimized.
The condition for minimum spherical aberration
is satisfied.
It does not satisfy the condition for
achromatism but can be made achromatic by
using an achromatic doublet as the eye lens.
It satisfies the condition for achromatism.
It is achromatic for only two chosen colors. It is achromatic for all colors.
The other types of aberration are better
eliminated. Coma is absent and distortion is
5% higher.
Other aberration like pincushion distortion are
not eliminated.
The eye clearance is 5% higher. The eye clearance is too small and less
comfortable.
It is used for quantitative purpose in
microscopes and telescopes.
It is used for qualitative purpose in
microscopes and telescopes.
Ramsden Eyepiece Huygens Eyepiece
Its power is positive Its power is positive
The two principle planes are crossed. The two principal planes are crossed
It can be used as a simple microscope because
the first principal plane lies to the left of the
field lens and the focal plane is real.
It cannot be used as simple microscope
because the first focal plane lies to the right of
the field lens and the focal plane is virtual.
The nodal points coincide with the principal
points.
The nodal points coincide with the principal
points.
Aberration
The departures of real images from the ideal
images in respect of actual size shape and
position.
They are inevitable consequences of the laws of
refraction at spherical surfaces.
Types of aberration
Monochromatic Aberration:
The defects due to wide angle incidence
and peripheral incidence.
It occurs with monochromatic light.
Chromatic Aberration:
It occurs due to dispersion of light.
Types of Monochromatic
aberration
Spherical aberration
Coma
Astigmatism
Curvature of field
Distortion
Spherical Aberration
Spherical aberration comes from the
spherical surface of a lens.
The further away the rays from the lens
center, the bigger the error is.
The image is improved if the image plane
move
closer to the lens to find optimal spot size.
Coma
•Arises from off-axis object points.
• The transverse magnification is a function of ray
height
• The resulting pattern is like a comet.
Astigmatism
•In optical design, the vertical plane is general
called the “tangential plane”
• The “sagittal plane” is the plane at right angle
to the trangential plane and containing the
principle ray.
• Astigmatism results in different focusing power
to the tangential and sagittal plane.
Distortion
• All points in the object plane are imaged to
points in image plane.
• Distortion arises when he magnification of
off axis image is a function of the distance
to the lens center.
With distortion
