Meniscus Lenses have one concave and one convex surface. Convex-concave lens is thicker at the center than at the edge, which is positive meniscus lens, usually used to decrease the focal length and increase the NA of system. While, convex-concave lens is thinner at the center than at the edge, which is negative meniscus lens, often used to increase the focal length and decrease the NA of system. The meniscus lens is a useful element to minimize the spherical aberration.
