← HistoryWhich instrument aberration limited the focusing power of Ibn Sahl's lenses?
A)Spherical aberration✓
B)Chromatic aberration
C)Comatic aberration
D)Astigmatic aberration

Spherical aberration blurs the image because rays further from the lens center focus differently; therefore edges appear fuzzy rather than sharp. Chromatic effects are due to wavelengths, conversely astigmatism involves different focal planes, rather than surface imperfections.
