Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a variable focal length surgical microscope objective lens. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of a surgical microscope, the surgical microscope objective lens directly affects the forming effect. The distance between the surgical microscope objective lens (the spherical vertex of the frontmost lens of the objective lens) and the object to be observed is called the working distance. When the surgical microscope is used in different departments, the requirements for the working distance vary greatly. For example, the working distance required for hand surgery is 200 - 300 mm; for ENT and neurosurgery, it is 200 - 500 mm; for spinal surgery, it is 500 - 600 mm; for an exoscope, a working distance of 650 mm is appropriate. Among them, a larger working distance range can provide doctors with a sufficiently large operating space and accommodate various surgical instruments, improving the success rate of surgery. However, in order to meet the requirements of magnification, the working distance range is relatively narrow, resulting in a relatively limited scope of application and being unable to meet industry requirements. Moreover, it also affects the imaging quality. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a variable focal length surgical microscope objective lens, which can provide a larger working distance range on the premise of meeting the magnification requirements, expand its scope of application, meet the usage requirements of more departments in the hospital, and also improve the imaging quality.

[0009] The third lens has a second convex spherical surface and a third convex spherical surface, and the radius of the second convex spherical surface is greater than the radius of the third convex spherical surface.

[0010] The second convex spherical surface is convex toward the observed object, and the third convex spherical surface is convex toward a side of the third lens away from the observed object.

[0011] The focal length of the third lens is F3, 125mm <F3<170mm。

[0012] The focal length of the positive cemented unit is F4, and the focal length ratio of the positive cemented unit to the third lens satisfies the following relationship: 3.3 <F4 / F3<3.8。
