Dialyte lens

A dialyte lens (sometimes called a dialyt^[1]^: 1873) is a compound lens design that corrects optical aberrations where the lens elements are widely air-spaced.^[2] The design is used to save on the amount of glass used for specific elements or where elements can not be cemented because they have dissimilar curvatures.^[3] The word dialyte means "parted", "loose" or "separated" in Greek.^[4]
