The Small Objective Lens plays a pivotal role in contemporary scientific exploration, particularly in the microscopic realm. This compact optical component is essential for magnifying minuscule structures with precision, enabling scientists to delve into the microcosm and observe details imperceptible to the naked eye.

 

Principles of the Small Objective Lens

Meticulously designed based on optical principles, the Small Objective Lens comprises a series of lenses and optical elements. These components work in concert to magnify the image of observed objects, ensuring clarity and minimal distortion. The lens operates within the wavelength range of 488–550 nm, accommodating fluorescent dyes commonly used in gastrointestinal tissue imaging.

 

Distinctive Features and Design

Distinguished by its small size and lightweight nature, the Small Objective Lens stands out for its portability, facilitating microscopic studies in diverse settings. Equipped with interchangeable lenses, it provides flexibility in selecting magnification levels, crucial for various scientific experiments.

The small objective design involves meticulous consideration of factors such as field curvature, distortion, and chromatic aberration. Comprising only four glass lenses and one plastic lens, the design incorporates aspheric surfaces, doublet lenses, and biconvex lenses to correct aberrations effectively. The final design, with a packaged diameter of 2.6 mm, ensures diffraction-limited performance for fluorescence confocal microendoscopy.

 

Performance Analysis

Extensive performance analysis confirms that the Small Objective Lens adequately corrects aberrations, meeting design requirements. Tolerance analysis and Monte Carlo simulations affirm successful fabrication and assembly, with results consistently meeting or exceeding specifications.
