[0087] Furthermore, setting the system aperture surface between the double-cemented achromatic lens (the third lens) and the convex lens (the fourth lens) can further reduce the difficulty of aberration correction.

[0088] During the design process, the multi-marker endoscopic imaging lens was set as an image-space telecentric system, with an optical effective aperture of less than 1.8 mm and a mechanical outer diameter of 2.6 mm, which is compatible with the instrument channels of general endoscopes (including gastroscopes and colonoscopes) in the range of 2.8-3.8 mm.

[0091] Figure 2 This is an image point diagram of a multi-marker endoscopic imaging lens provided by the present invention. Six different fields of view, including on-axis, 0.3 field of view, 0.5 field of view, 0.707 field of view, 0.85 field of view and full field of view, were selected along the radial direction for full field of view image quality analysis. The root mean square radius of the diffuse spot in each field of view was 0.813μm, 0.892μm, 0.941μm, 0.940μm, 1.034μm and 1.094μm, respectively, which are all smaller than the diffraction limit of 1.277μm and smaller than the core radius of the commonly used image transmission fiber bundle of 2μm, which can maximize the coupling efficiency.

[0092] Figure 3 The MTF curves of the meridian and sagittal planes at the six radial imaging positions of a multi-marker endoscopic imaging lens provided by the present invention, as well as the MTF curves under the diffraction limit condition. As can be seen from the figure, the MTF curves of all fields of view are greater than 0.7 at the cutoff frequency, which greatly meets the design requirement that the MTF value should be greater than 0.5 at the cutoff frequency of the fiber bundle 132lp / mm, and further ensures that the endoscopic imaging resolution is not limited to the imaging performance of this embodiment.

[0093] Figure 4 The image-side field curvature and distortion curves of a multi-label endoscopic imaging lens provided by the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, the design wavelengths of this embodiment are 488nm, 515nm, 550nm, 785nm, 820nm, and 860nm, and the astigmatism and field curvature in the full field of view are fully constrained and corrected. The maximum field curvature of the image side in the full field of view is 8.49μm, which is 2.47μm when converted to the object side, which is less than the axial resolution of the confocal endoscopy system and meets the design requirements. The maximum value of the image-side astigmatism of each wavelength is 6.18μm, which is 1.80μm when converted to the object side, which maximizes the coupling efficiency of each wavelength in the wide spectrum fluorescence band. The distortion in the entire field of view is less than 2.51%, which is less than the limit that the human eye can recognize, and meets the design requirements.

The optical path differences of the remaining curves are all less than half a wavelength. It can be considered that this embodiment achieves performance close to the diffraction limit.

[0095] Figure 6The chromatic focal shift curve of a multi-label endoscopic imaging lens provided by the present invention shows that the maximum focal shift change on the image side within the design wavelength range is 12.3250 μm, and the maximum focal shift on the object side is 3.58 μm, which is smaller than the axial resolution of the confocal endoscopy system. It can be considered that the chromatic aberration of this embodiment is fully corrected, thereby improving the collection and imaging performance of wide-spectrum fluorescence.

[0096] The embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-label endoscopic imaging lens for the digestive tract. By combining seven spherical surfaces with one aspherical surface, the designed endoscopic imaging lens has an optical effective aperture of no more than 1.8 mm, a mechanical outer diameter of the lens of 2.6 mm, a working band of 488-860 nm, a magnification of 2.14 times, and an imaging field of view of 450 μm. It solves the technical problem that the working band range of the endoscopic imaging lens cannot simultaneously match the fluorescence spectrum bands marked by different fluorescent dyes, resulting in difficulty in distinguishing different structural tissue information in the body, and realizes effective correction of overall aberrations to ensure its imaging performance in the visible to near-infrared band, thereby realizing cell-resolution imaging of the mucosal surface of digestive tract tissues. It realizes the signal collection of multiple fluorescent dyes from the visible to near-infrared range, and can match the excitation and fluorescence spectra of clinically available fluorescent contrast agents (including sodium fluorescein, methylene blue, and indocyanine green).
