A defect in an optical instrument or system. There are several types of abberation, descriptions of a few follow: Chromatic abberation occurs in lenses and is caused by different wavelengths of light focusing at different points and results in coloured fringes around objects; Spherical abberation is caused when the innner and outer parts of a lens ...

Departure from normal; in microscopy two common forms of optical aberration cause problems, spherical aberration in which there is distortion of the image of the magnified object and chromatic aberration that leads to coloured fringes -a consequence of the unequal refraction of light of different wavelength.
