The five Seidel aberrations of a rotationally symmetric optical system are spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, field curvature, and optical distortion.
Spherical aberration makes rays at different pupil radii focus at different axial positions. Its primary pupil dependence is quartic; the balanced Zernike spherical mode also contains quadratic and constant terms to remove defocus and piston.
