An achromatic lens is one without chromatic distortion (gives no colour fringing). The achromatism has no direct relation to power.
The achromatic lens was invented by English scientist John Dollond in the 18th century. He developed this lens design to address issues of chromatic aberration in optical instruments like telescopes and microscopes, resulting in improved image quality.
The lens power increases as the curvature of the lens surface becomes steeper. A lens with a larger radius of curvature will have a lower power, while a lens with a smaller radius of curvature will have a higher power. This relationship is described by the lensmaker's equation, which relates the power of a lens to the refractive index of the lens material and the radii of curvature of its surfaces.
The use of a two lens telescope is credited to three people of Netherlands , Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen, and Jacob Metius . Galileo improved on their designs and is generally given the credit of inventing the telescope.Robert Hooke was the first to use a two lens microscope.
A lens of short focal length has a greater power (than a lens of large focal length)
The medium lens on the nosepiece of a microscope is typically the 10x objective lens. This lens is often referred to as the "low power" lens and is used for general observation and initial focusing of the specimen.
Achromatic means "without color". An achromatic lens is a lens that is virtually free from prismatic color distortions.

The distracting violet fringing of the image in the telescope was limited by the use of an achromatic lens system.

Point in a chromaticity diagram representing an achromatic color.Achromatic means without color so an achromatic point could be black or white.It is the point at which starch no longer gives a positive result (blue color) to Iodine test.
An achromatic lens consists of a compound lens made up of two or more elements with different types of glass to minimize chromatic aberration. This design allows the lens to focus multiple wavelengths of light to a single point, resulting in improved image quality.
n - 1D = --------rwhere:D = dioptric power of the surface,n = the index of the material that the surface is made from,r = the radius of curvature of the surface, in metersand where the surface is in air.
The lens power increases as the curvature of the lens surface becomes steeper. A lens with a larger radius of curvature will have a lower power, while a lens with a smaller radius of curvature will have a higher power. This relationship is described by the lensmaker's equation, which relates the power of a lens to the refractive index of the lens material and the radii of curvature of its surfaces.
the objective lens has the power of that lens inscribed on it
The total magnification of a microscope is calculated by multiplying the power of the objective lens by the power of the eyepiece lens. Given a total magnification of 200x and an eyepiece lens power of 10x, the power of the objective lens would be 200x/10x = 20x.
