   Post subject: Question about achromat

hello folks , i have a question about achromat closeup lenses , i have a elnikkor 50 /2.8 enlarger which i bought in "as is" condition and found out that the 1st optical doublet block is missing , it has the the first elelmnt ,2nd cemented doublet and the last element , now my question is can i use the cemented doublet as high quality achromatic closeup filter ??My main intention is to get a achromatic close up lens for free

The remaining doublet looks as if it has quite small radius curve and so may be quite powerful.

You can roughly estimate its focal length by holding it up to a bright window some distance away and then measuring the distance to a piece of paper with the image of the window focussed on it as sharp as you can get it.

The diameter seems quite small, so using it as a close up lens might be a problem

Not always a good idea. Not every doublet is an achromat. IMO the front and rear lens groups are supposed to corect each other (allmost symetric lens) and therefore the dublet alone may not be an achromat. Anyway, you should actually test it to see if it's O.K. for you.

That's a cheap and very enlarger lens, just get another one...

In a double-Gass lens, the menisci have negative optical power. They have no use as close-up lens.

Achromatism of Lenses: Answers to Your Questions

Homework Statement


1)If we want to form an achromatic combination of lenses in which both are made of same material, one should be convex and the other should be concave, isn&#;t it? Is there any other condition to be satisfied along with this?


For the first question,I think the reason behind having one convex and other concave in order to form an achromatic doublet is that, they disperse the beam in opposite directions as one is converging and other is diverging. According to the condition for achromatism of lenses,
w1/w2 = -f1/f2
as w1 & w2 are different, f1 & f2 should be different. Is it right?

For the second question,
a) If both are made of same material, then their dispersive powers will be same. From the condition for achromatism of lenses,
f1=-f2
If both are convex, then this is not possible, isn't it?
b) Similarly both cannot be concave.
c) Similarly this cannot be true.
So for achromatism of 2 lenses made of same material placed in contact:
# one should be convex and other should be concave.
# Both should be of same focal length.

3) I think the third question is wrong because 2 lenses made of same material cannot have different dispersive powers. Please correct me if I am wrong.
