The methods of exact optics are here extended to cover the design of lens and mirror systems. Power series are given for the shapes of both Schmidt corrector plates and their complementary almost spherical mirrors. Their off-axis images are analysed.

Null tests are described for the strongly curved and highly aspheric mirrors of a set of ‘exact optics’ spectrograph cameras based on the design of Schwarzschild. For f/1.0 and f/1.333 cameras having a focal length of 100 mm the tests of each mir

Spherical-mirror telescopes could look in diverse directions simultaneously as the sphere has no intrinsic axis. However, this remarkable ability is lost if the secondary is too big, as then the different secondaries required for the different direct

Karl Schwarzschild identified a system of two mirrors, each defined by conic sections, free of third-order spherical aberration, coma and astigmatism, and with a flat focal surface. He considered it impractical, because the field was too restricted.

The two-mirror telescopes/cameras that have no coma, no spherical aberration and arbitrarily fast focal ratios form a two-parameter (s, K) family of exact optical designs analytically derived earlier. We explore the full range of these designs in the

The present surge in the building of telescopes of more than 6 m aperture far surpasses even the efforts of the 1970s when several 3·5-4 m telescopes were built. Early in the next century, astronomers world-wide will have gained about 750 m2 of ligh

Anyone who has attempted to make accurate photometric measurements will be uncomfortably aware that they are liable to more errors, and greater inaccuracy, than most other physical measurements such as mass, length, time or electric current. However,
