In 1959, Dyson first proposed that a simple concentric arrangement of a planoconvex lens and concave mirror would be free of all Seidel aberrations at the design wavelength and center of a field imaged at 1:1 magnification [10].

In addition to calculations for Seidel aberrations, MODAS offers a thorough mathematical treatment of a variety of optical characteristics--some of them aberrations, others being merely informative, and both sometimes switching roles depending on the design goals.
