The microscope objective of this invention has a maximum field of view of 30, a maximum numerical aperture of 1.5, and good fluorescence performance in the 405nm-1000nm wavelength range. Furthermore, the working distance of the microscope objective can reach 0.17mm or more, including working distances of 0mm-0.17mm, where the working distance is the distance from the coverslip to the edge of the first lens group of the objective. The lens materials of this invention are required to have low near-ultraviolet transmittance and good fluorescence performance. A lens configuration of 16-18 elements offers the best cost-performance ratio, suitable for biological fluorescence observation. It allows for a maximum field of view of up to 30, a maximum numerical aperture of 1.5, and apochromatic imaging within the 436-656nm wavelength range, with good imaging performance in the near-infrared and near-ultraviolet bands. Of course, additional lenses can be added to further enhance performance.

[0079] The microscope objectives of the present invention are described in detail below with six sets of embodiments, where the surfaces of each lens are represented by S1, S2, ..., SN, and the cemented surface of the cemented lens group is referred to as one surface. In the following embodiments, the first lens group T1 is mainly used to provide optical power and reduce the numerical aperture for the rear portion; the second lens group T2 is mainly used to correct chromatic aberration, and the third lens group T3 is mainly used to correct field curvature. The working distance of the fluorescence biological microscope objective of the present invention is 0.17 mm. The working wavelength (spectral range) of the microscope objective is 400 nm-1000 nm, and in some embodiments, it can be 436 nm-1000 nm. The imaging effect is best in the 436-656 nm wavelength range, the field of view is 26.5, and the numerical aperture is 1.3.
