Better correction of chromatic aberration has been achieved than that afforded by the achromat doublets. One could use three lenses to achieve the same focal length for three wavelengths. In practice, so-called apochromatic lenses have been produced in the 4 to 16 mm focal length range for microscope objectives (Pedroti & Pedroti) with the use of fluorite elements.
