Negative Achromats consist of two optical components, a crown and a flint glass lens, cemented together. The crown is usually a bi-concave lens. As is true to all Achromats, they are corrected for color and on-axis spherical aberration. They are used predominantly to extend focal lengths in combination with positive achromatic systems or CCD lenses.
