Here's an 1825 use of "chromatic aberration" in "An elementary treatise on optics" by Henry Coddington: https://archive.org/details/elementarytreati00codd/page/94/m... Ernst Abbe was born in 1840, says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Abbe . There are many uses of chromatic aberration in archive.org which predate Abbe's research in optics. The Wikipedia adds "Already a professor in Jena, he was hired by Carl Zeiss to improve the manufacturing process of optical instruments, which back then was largely based on trial and error." which seems like it had nothing to do with his surname. |
