Summary
Lens systems are designed to form an image according to an ideal model. Light that passes through the stop aperture forms the image. However, some light may not contribute to the formation of the intended image, and reaches the image plane to degrade the image. This light is known as stray light, flare, veiling glare, and ghost images.
