Scientific paper

The resolution over a wide field at the prime focus of Ritchey-Chretien telescopes can be improved by triple lens correctors whose performance peaks when the lenses are closer to the mirror, and thus larger than existing corrector lenses. Telescopes such as the Kitt Peak f/2.8 4-m could be improved, especially for multi-object slitless spectroscopy. The bigger lens designs are particularly important for faster telescopes of the future with primary focal ratios of f/2.0 or less.
