An achromatic lens, often called an achromat, is a type of optical lens capable of correcting chromatic aberration, a distortion that occurs when glass splits white light into multiple colorwavelengths in the spectrum.

Improved image quality: By eliminating color fringes, achromatic lenses significantly increase image brightness and clarity. This fact is particularly true for polychromatic imaging.
Efficient light transmission: Unlike singlet lenses, the on-axis performance of an achromatic lens won’t degrade as aperture size increases, allowing you to utilize the entire clear aperture.
Cost-effective production: Though improvements on the achromat exist, these lenses are much more expensive. For most purposes, an achromatic lens provides plenty of correction, making it the most cost-effective way to get clear white light images.
