As used herein "negative spherical aberration" in reference to a lens means that the optical power decreases as the value of diameter increases. The amount of spherical aberration depends on the diameter. For a lens having a negative spherical aberration, its optical power at the center is larger than an optical power at any diameter.

    spelled it that way (I always left a blank in the report ~ he would always "write" it in when he got the report back). This was many, many years ago when I worked in-house.

By no means did I intend to mean that that was the "correct" spelling or that I used that word ~ I apologize if that is how my message was read. :)
