NOTES:
1) Zone errors are from the calculation:
(2R (1.22*Rho*Focal Ratio)) / (Center of Radius for Each Zone)
2) Once the error has been computed it is added to and subtracted
from each Zone's (r^2/2R) figure, giving the maximums and minimums.
3) Lambda is constant at .00002165" or .00055mm.
4) req. indicates a "required field".
