%CORRIGENDA
%In table 2.3 pag. 73 the value for
%magnfication -2.7 must be replaced by -2.1
%as can be verified running this script
%when zs = -50 is used

%the refractine index of the lens
n=1.65;
nmeno1=n-1;
%its thickness in mm
t=3;
%radii of the spherical surfaces of the lens, in mm
R1=35;
R2=-60;
%z is distance of the point object from the left vertex of the lens
%equal to -30 or to -50
% zs=-30;
zs=-50;
%
%the lens power and focal length
power=nmeno1*(1/R1-1/R2+(nmeno1*t)/(n*R1*R2));
f=1/power
%distance of the principal points from the vertexes
h=(-nmeno1*f*t)/(n*R2)
hp=(-nmeno1*f*t)/(n*R1)
%distance of the point image from the second principal point
z=zs-h
zp=(z*f)/(z+f)
%using Newtonian formula
w=z+f
wp=-(f^2)/w
%magnification using Gaussian formula
MTG=zp/z
%and Newtonian formula
MTNwp=-wp/f
MTw=f/w
