positive Meniscus lens


Positive meniscus (convex-concave) lenses are designed to minimize spherical aberration. When used in combination with another lens, a positive meniscus lens will shorten the focal length and increase the numerical aperture (NA) of the system without introducing significant spherical aberration. When used to focus a collimated beam, the convex side of the lens should face the source to minimze spherical aberration.
