Lens Shape
Choosing the right lens shape is critical in order to minimize the optical aberrations. Multiple lenses can be used where one singlet can cancel the aberration caused by another. Generally, when working at or near infinite conjugate (collimated light on one end of the lens), a plano-convex/concave lens or achromatic doublet lens will work best.
