These are most easily observed with point sources in an otherwise dark field, particularly if the pupil is large. 242 Stray light may also arise as a result of fluorescence in the crystalline lens.
207 have argued that it is the interaction between the monochromatic and chromatic aberrations of the eye that helps to minimize any change in image quality with wavelength across the spectrum. TCA results in a wavelength-dependent change in magnification in the retinal image, the red image being larger than the blue. 201,209,210 For a centered system, TCA would be zero on the optical axis. Since in the eye there is a ~5 deg difference (called angle a) in orientation between the visual axis joining the fixation point, nodal points and fovea of the eye, and the approximate optical axis, some foveal TCA might be expected.
7). 10 VISION AND VISION OPTICS Since the cornea, lens, and retinal nerve fibre layer all show birefringence, the polarization characteristics of the light entering the eye are modified before it reaches the outer segments of the retinal receptors. 68 (See also Chaps. 8 and 9 by Jay M. ) This results in light which enters the periphery of the entrance pupil to reach a given retinal location being less effective at stimulating the retina than light which passes through the pupil center (Fig. 8).
