Abstract:
The paper provides the results of a research into the possibilities of correcting chromatic and monochromatic aberrations of the distal part of a rigid endoscope, which includes a gradient lens and translator. It shows that it is advisable to use a diffractive or uniform lens as a coordinate chromatism corrector depending on the dispersion properties of the material.

Keywords:
diffractive compensator, homogeneous-lens compensator, aberration, gradient, rigid endoscope, diffractive lens, uniform lens.
