Introduction

The five basic types of aberration which are due to the geometry of lenses or mirrors, and which are applicable to systems dealing with monochromatic light, are known as Seidel aberrations, from an 1857 paper by Ludwig von Seidel. These are the aberrations that become evident in third-order optics, also known as Seidel optics.
