ABSTRACT:
Imaging conditions for the aperture rays of an axial pencil, for example Abbe's sine condition, determine how an object volume will be imaged in the image space of an optical lens system. The invention provides an optical lens element having an imaging condition which analytically should lead to the largest possible volume in an image space wherein possible aberrations (spherical aberration and coma) remain below a certain prescribed level.
