Scientific paper

The first order aberration theory of an assembly of thin prisms is discussed and the results applied to derive design criteria for atmospheric dispersion correctors located in a converging beam. Two numerical examples are given of Cassegrain focus correctors for a 4.2-m f/11 and a 2.5-m f/15 telescope giving subarcsec imagery over wide spectral ranges and field angles.
