Abstract
Abstract Achromat objective lens systems and more particularly an objective lens system having a magnification β on the order of 10 to 30X and designed to operate particularly for the monochromatic light whose wave length is on the order of 6328 A. The lens system consists of three lens components and four lenses. The first and second lens components are positive singlet lenses. The third lens component is a positive doublet lens composed of a negative meniscus lens and a biconvex lens. The lens system is constructed so as to satisfy the following three conditions: ______________________________________ 0.9f<d 2 +d 3 +d 4 <1.3f (1) 0.8f<R 6 <1.2f (2) 1.46<n 1d <1.65 1.46<n 2d <1.65 1.46<n 4d <1.65 50<ν 1d <68 (3) 50<ν 2d <68 50<ν 4d <68 ν 3d <35 ______________________________________ Wherein f designates the overall focal length of the system given for a wave length light of 6328 A, R 6 designates the radius of curvature of the cemented surface of the third lens component, d 2 and d 4 designate the separation between the first and second lens components and the separation between the second and third lens components, respectively, d 3 designates the axial thickness of the second lens component, n 1d , n 2d and n 4d designate the refractive indices of the first, second and fourth lenses for the d line, respectively, and ν 1d , ν 2d , ν 3d and ν 4d designate the Abbe numbers of the first, second, third and fourth lenses for the d line, respectively.
