The limit set by chromatic dispersion on the velocity resolution of Čerenkov counters can be reduced by more than an order of magnitude by optical correction of chromatism. Performance of a counter built according to this principle is presented, showing ability to separate particles differing in velocity by only a few parts in 106.
