The sphericity corrector (12) comprises a doublet of asphero-achromatic lenses, i.e. two aspherical lenses (12A, 12B) each comprising two faces at least one of which is curved and at least one of which has an aspherical profile with small thickness variations, the two lenses being made of a different optical glass so as to form an achromatic doublet. The two lenses further have a central hole (120) centred on the optical axis (O) and in which the field corrector (14) is placed."
