The wavefront shapes of some aberrations are very similar to each other in terms of azimuthal symmetry. For instance, aberrations C1,2, C3,2 and C5,2 have essentially the same shape. The similar aberrations are marked in the same colors in Table 3665, which also can be seen in Figure 3665. The groups with similar aberrations will distort the incoming electron beam in a very similar way. The difference between those similar aberrations is the angle-dependence, for instance, at low angles (θ) the lower-order aberrations dominate.

Table 3665. Aberration Coefficient Nomenclature. The aberration coefficients have two
main types of notations, namely Krivanek notation, and Typke and Dierksen notation.
