There are two main types of chromatic aberrations: the LATERAL (or transverse) and the LONGITUDINAL chromatic aberration.

longitudinal chromatic aberration There is LONGITUDINAL CHROMATIC ABERRATION, if a lens cannot focus different colors in the same focal plane. It is caused by straight incident light. The foci of the different colors lie at different points in the longitudinal direction along the optical axis.

The longitidinal chromatic aberration leads to colored areas in the images, that arise, because not all three colors can be displayed in focus.
