[0042] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The miniaturized high-resolution optical system of the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0044] In Example 1 and Example 2, the lens comprises a first lens group G1 with positive optical power, an effective aperture St, a color filter LT with partial wavelength interception, a second lens group G2 with positive optical power, and an imaging surface IMG, which are arranged in order from the object side;

[0045] The first lens group G1 includes a first negative lens L1, a second positive lens L2, a third positive lens L3, and a fourth negative lens L4, which are arranged in order from the object side. The first negative lens L1 and the second positive lens L2 form a cemented lens, or the third positive lens L3 and the fourth negative lens L4 form a cemented lens.

[0046] The second lens group G2 includes a plurality of lenses arranged in sequence, including at least two negative lenses. The lenses in the second lens group G2 form at least one positive-power cemented lens group. The plurality of lenses include a fifth negative lens L5, a sixth positive lens L6, a seventh positive lens L7, and an eighth negative lens L8, arranged sequentially from the object side. The cemented lenses correct chromatic aberration and effectively balance the coma, astigmatism, and chromatic aberration of the first and second lens groups G1 and G2, significantly reducing the sensitivity of the front and rear lens groups to tolerances. Multiple cemented lens combinations can also be used to further improve chromatic aberration. The presence of multiple negative lenses allows for a wider angle of view and increases the light throughput and resolution at the lens periphery. The mirror surface of the first negative lens L1 is curved toward the object side, forming a crescent shape, which minimizes overall coma and astigmatism, reducing the sensitivity of the first and second lens groups G1 and G2 to tolerances.

[0047] Furthermore, the effective aperture St is fixed or movable relative to the imaging plane IMG. In order to limit the light beam or the size of the field of view (imaging range), an effective aperture St is provided to optimize the light beam shaping and improve the beam quality. The effective aperture St is set according to the actual needs of the lens.

[0048] Furthermore, the lens closest to the imaging surface IMG in the second lens group G2 is a negative lens, which plays a converging role to achieve a compact optical structure.

[0049] Through a simple lens structure, spherical aberration, astigmatism, and chromatic aberration are effectively controlled, achieving high resolution and a wide-angle field of view. Optical distortion is minimal, eliminating the need for extensive post-processing in actual lens applications. Furthermore, by optimizing the optical power of the various lens groups, a compact design and high resolution are achieved.

[0050] Furthermore, the lenses all satisfy the following conditional formula:

[0051] (1) 0.79<f1 / f2<1.16;

[0052] (2) (f1+f2) / EFL<3.6;

[0053] (3) 0.49<f3 / f4;

[0054] (4) 0.24<TL12 / TLA;

[0055] (5) 0.89<nd1 / nd2<0.99, improving the compactness of the structure and reducing dispersion;

[0057] f1: The combined focal length of the first lens group G1 in the above lens;

[0058] f2: The combined focal length of the second lens group G2 in the above lens;

[0060] f3: the focal length of the first element in the above lens;

[0061] f4: The focal length of the lens closest to the imaging plane in the above lens;

[0063] TLA: The distance on the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the object side to the lens surface closest to the image plane IMG in the above lens;

[0064] nd1: the average refractive index of all negative elements in the above lens;

[0065] nd2: The average refractive index of all positive elements in the above lens.
