correct definition at the centre and margin of the picture, and have their
visual and chemical acting foci coincident.

yet produced, by procuring the coincidence of the chemical actinic and
visual rays. The spherical aberration is also very carefully corrected,

furnished with a double achromatic object-lens, about three inches
aperture. There is no stop, the field is flat, and the image very
perfect up to the edge."
