[0057] After testing, the test results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, the endoscope lens shading film prepared in this embodiment has a good shading effect, while the optical performance remains unchanged.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] The present embodiment provides a method for preparing a light-shielding film for an endoscope lens. The present embodiment adopts a vacuum coating method. A light-shielding film with a total thickness of 35 μm is coated on the surface of the endoscope lens by electron beam vacuum evaporation coating. The thickness of the chromium (Cr) light-absorbing layer is 15 μm; the thickness of the aluminum (Al) reflective layer is 15 μm; and the thickness of the silicon dioxide insulating layer is 5 μm.

[0060] Electron beam vacuum evaporation coating specifically includes the following steps:

[0069] The lens shading film prepared by the present invention has a wide range of applications and is suitable for various types of lenses, such as endoscope lenses.

[0070] The present invention adopts a physical vapor deposition method to deposit film layers at multiple angles and accurately control the thickness of the film layers, thereby achieving uniform film formation on the lens surface, improving the uniformity of the lens shading film, ensuring that the optical performance of the lens is not affected, and being able to prepare a large number of products at the same time with high production efficiency.
