His encounter with achromatism also seems to have left an impression of the disabled helping each other to cope, to learn, to advance.

Newton failed to perceive the existence of media of different dispersive powers required by achromatism; consequently he constructed large reflectors instead of refractors.

For two thin lenses separated by a distance D the condition for achromatism is D = v1f1+v2f2; if v1=v2 (e.g.

Achromatic Eye-Pieces of Telescopes, and on the Achromatism of Microscopes.

(This explains the gigantic focal lengths in vogue before the discovery of achromatism.)

In uniting three colours an ''achromatism of a higher order'' is derived; there is yet a residual ''tertiary spectrum,'' but it can always be neglected.
