Case studies with Zemax software
- Getting started with the software: study of a simple lens
- The doublet and its tolerancing
- The Newton or Cassegrain telescope, associated field correctors
- The Cooke triplet
- Choice from: 3-mirror anastigmat telescope (TMA) including freeform surfaces, or: study of stray light using non-sequential Zemax mode
