In this paper, it has been shown an apochromatic triplet can be designed without employing special glasses. This possibility is offered when optical system is composed of two lenses, i.e., hybrid and glass ones. Such a system is proposed and its spherochromatic aberration is determined. Aberration characteristic of the system is compared with that of conventional glass apochromat.

As for the optical measurement, the longer the focal length of collimator is, the less the measurement error is. However, the longer the focal length is, the more difficult the optical design is. It’s higher application value to design long focal length collimator with wide-view. The paper designs a collimator with 2000mm focal length, 4 degree field of view and its wavelength range is from 480nm to 750nm. The collimator is employed in the camera resolution detection system. It adopts the apochromatism three-piece-type structure and the secondary spectrum is corrected. The paper analyses the imaging quality of the optical system and the MTF curve is presented.
