This book explores the lenses analogous to conic mirrors, the only kind of mirrors free of spherical aberration. With new ideas and results appearing in the field of optics, this second edition presents an in-depth look at lenses free of spherical aberrations and uses illustrative examples. Based on ideas from the first edition, this text contains six new chapters, which are not limited to stigmatic lenses but also discuss aplanatic lenses, stigmatic mirror systems and aplanatic mirrors. A newly added fourth part studies stigmatism and aplanetism in systems made purely with mirrors. The characteristics of these lenses and the equations that describe them are also studied. Finally, several implications of these lenses are analysed, such as freeform lenses, optical systems, axicons, telescopes and more. Scenarios with on-axis objects and off-axis objects are considered. Cases where the object is real or virtual and the image is real or virtual are also presented.
