Image for Aberration Correction Theory

Aberration Correction Theory

Aberration correction theory addresses how lenses and optical systems can be adjusted to compensate for distortions caused by the Earth's motion and the finite speed of light. Because our planet moves and light takes time to reach us, images can appear shifted or distorted—a phenomenon known as aberration. Correcting for these effects involves fine-tuning the optical setup or implementing computational adjustments to ensure that the observed images are accurate representations of the actual objects. This ensures precision in applications like telescopes, microscopes, and camera lenses, allowing us to see images with minimal distortion caused by motion or light speed limitations.
