?How can you calculate the focal length of a compound lens system composed of multiple lenses in series or parallel

To calculate the focal length, use the lens equation for each lens and consider their relative positions in the system. For lenses in series, use the formula 1/f_total = 1/f1 + 1/f2 + ... + 1/fn.

?What are the common types of aberrations that can occur in multiple lens systems, and how can these aberrations be minimized or corrected

Common aberrations include chromatic aberration, spherical aberration, and coma. They can be minimized by choosing appropriate lens materials and shapes, and by using corrective optics such as doublets or triplets.
