Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the field of optical imaging technologies, and in particular, to an optical system and a microscope. Background Art
[0002] With the applications in scenarios such as defect diversity of compound semiconductor quantity detection and fluorescence detection in life sciences, product type complexity, weak light emission, and high detection efficiency, higher requirements are put forward for the microscopic imaging optical system. To meet these application requirements of the optical system, the optical system needs to have a large field of view. A large field of view can significantly increase the imaging field of view of the optical system. For a sample with a fixed area, a larger imaging range means more light flux and fewer detection times, thereby improving the overall detection efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0032] In a conventional infinity conjugate microscopic imaging optical system, the field number is generally low, unable to meet the requirements of current semiconductor applications, thus limiting the efficiency of semiconductor quantity detection.
[0033] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an optical system and a microscope. The optical system includes a microscopic objective lens and a tube lens arranged in sequence along the optical axis from the object side to the image side. The microscopic objective lens includes a first lens group, a second lens group, a diaphragm, and a third lens group arranged in sequence along the optical axis direction. The first lens group has a positive optical power and is at least used to correct spherical aberration, astigmatism, and axial chromatic aberration. The first lens group includes a first cemented lens, a third lens, and a second cemented lens. The first cemented lens includes a first lens and a second lens cemented to each other.

The second lens group includes a sixth lens and a third cemented lens. The third cemented lens includes a seventh lens, an eighth lens, and a ninth lens cemented in sequence. The third lens group has a positive optical power and is at least used to correct field curvature and lateral chromatic aberration. The third lens group includes a fourth cemented lens, a thirteenth lens, a fourteenth lens, and a fifteenth lens. The fourth cemented lens includes a tenth lens, an eleventh lens, and a twelfth lens cemented in sequence. The diaphragm is arranged between the third cemented lens and the fourth cemented lens, and chromatic aberration can be corrected by placing it on both sides of the diaphragm via the third cemented lens and the fourth cemented lens. The tube lens has a positive optical power. The tube lens has a positive optical power. The tube lens includes a fifth cemented lens, a sixth cemented lens, and a twenty-first lens arranged in sequence along the optical axis direction. The fifth cemented lens includes a sixteenth lens and a seventeenth lens cemented to each other. The sixth cemented lens includes an eighteenth lens, a nineteenth lens, and a twentieth lens cemented in sequence.
[0034] With this arrangement, the microscope objective of the optical system comprises three positive refractive power lens groups. The first lens group can correct spherical aberration, astigmatism, and axial chromatic aberration. The second lens group can optimize coma and distortion. The third lens group can correct field curvature and lateral chromatic aberration. Multiple cemented lenses can effectively reduce chromatic aberration and spherical aberration. The tube lens has positive refractive power and comprises two cemented lenses and a singlet lens, which can further improve the imaging quality. Through the collaborative correction of multiple lens groups, the field of view can be expanded while maintaining high resolution and imaging clarity. A larger field number can reduce the number of scans, thereby improving the detection efficiency. The principles of the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with Figures 1 to 21 to describe the principles of the present disclosure in detail.
[0035] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, the optical system includes a microscope objective Obj and a tube lens TL arranged in sequence along the optical axis from the object side to the image side. The microscope objective Obj can focus the light of the object and preliminarily correct various aberrations, while the tube lens TL can optimize the optical path and finally form a high-quality image. The optical system can be applied to microscopic detection scenarios with high resolution and a large field of view, such as biomedical research, material analysis, and semiconductor detection.
[0036] As Figure 1 shown, the microscope objective Obj is composed of a first lens group G1, a second lens group G2, and a third lens group G3 arranged in sequence along the optical axis. Each lens group undertakes specific aberration correction tasks and can effectively control various optical aberrations in a complex imaging environment, thereby achieving imaging with high resolution and a large field of view.
[0037] As Figure 1 shown, the first lens group G1 is located at the front end of the microscope objective Obj and has positive refractive power. The first lens group G1 can correct spherical aberration, astigmatism, and axial chromatic aberration. The first lens group G1 includes a first cemented lens B1, a third lens L3, and a second cemented lens B2. The first cemented lens B1 is formed by cementing a first lens L1 and a second lens L2, and the second cemented lens B2 is formed by cementing a fourth lens L4 and a fifth lens L5. By tightly combining lenses with different refractive indices and dispersion characteristics, axial chromatic aberration can be reduced while optimizing spherical aberration and astigmatism. The third lens L3, as a singlet lens, can assist in adjusting the convergence of the optical path, thereby providing appropriate optical conditions for the subsequent lens groups. The first lens group G1 can ensure that the light has small initial aberrations when entering the subsequent lens groups.
[0038] As Figure 1As shown, the second lens group G2 also has a positive optical power and can correct coma and distortion. The second lens group G2 includes the sixth lens L6 and the third cemented lens B3. The third cemented lens B3 is formed by sequentially cementing the seventh lens L7, the eighth lens L8, and the ninth lens L9. Coma appears as an asymmetric light spot and can cause trailing when imaging a point light source, while distortion can cause geometric distortion of the image edge and affect the imaging quality at the edge of the field of view. Through the combination of the single lens of the sixth lens L6 and the third cemented lens B3, the second lens group G2 can control the propagation path of light at different field angles, thereby effectively suppressing coma and distortion. The second lens group G2 can ensure that the imaging quality at the center of the field of view can be extended to the edge region, providing support for large-field imaging.
[0039] As Figure 1 shown, the third lens group G3 is located at the end of the microscope objective Obj and has a positive optical power. The third lens group G3 can be used to correct field curvature and lateral chromatic aberration. The third lens group G3 includes the fourth cemented lens B4, the thirteenth lens L13, the fourteenth lens L14, and the fifteenth lens L15. The fourth cemented lens B4 is formed by sequentially cementing the tenth lens L10, the eleventh lens L11, and the twelfth lens L12. Field curvature can cause the image plane to deviate from the ideal plane and affect the clarity of the entire field of view, while lateral chromatic aberration appears as the lateral separation of light rays of different wavelengths at the edge of the field of view. Through the combination of multiple lenses, the fourth cemented lens B4 can further reduce chromatic aberration. At the same time, in cooperation with the subsequent single lenses (the thirteenth lens L13 to the fifteenth lens L15), it adjusts the focusing characteristics of light rays to correct field curvature and ensure the planarity of the entire field of view. In this way, the third lens group G3 can enable the optical system to maintain uniform imaging quality within a relatively large field of view.
[0040] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 , Figure 10 and Figure 16 shown, the optical system further includes a stop STOP disposed between the third cemented lens B3 and the fourth cemented lens B4. In this way, chromatic aberration can be corrected by placing the third cemented lens and the fourth cemented lens on both sides of the stop.
[0041] As Figure 5As shown, the tube lens TL is located behind the microscope objective Obj and has a positive optical power. The tube lens TL can further magnify the intermediate image formed by the microscope objective Obj and finally project it onto the imaging plane. The tube lens TL includes a fifth cemented lens B5, a sixth cemented lens B6, and a twenty-first lens L21. The fifth cemented lens B5 is formed by cementing a sixteenth lens L16 and a seventeenth lens L17. The sixth cemented lens B6 is formed by sequentially cementing an eighteenth lens L18, a nineteenth lens L19, and a twentieth lens L20. Cemented lenses can further reduce chromatic aberration. The twenty-first lens L21, as a single lens, can adjust the convergence of the optical path to ensure the clarity and contrast of the final image. The tube lens TL and the microscope objective Obj work together to optimize the propagation path of light, thereby improving the imaging quality in the marginal area under a large field of view.
[0042] In this way, the microscope objective Obj of the optical system includes three positive optical power lens groups, and each group is optimized for specific aberrations. The first lens group G1 corrects spherical aberration, astigmatism, and axial chromatic aberration through the first cemented lens B1, the third lens L3, and the second cemented lens B2, providing a high-quality optical basis for the subsequent optical path. The second lens group G2 can optimize coma and distortion through the sixth lens L6 and the third cemented lens B3 to ensure the accurate geometry at the edge of the field of view. The third lens group G3 corrects field curvature and lateral chromatic aberration through the fourth cemented lens B4 and a single lens, maintaining the planarity and color consistency of the entire field of view. Multiple groups of cemented lenses can reduce chromatic aberration and aberration, thereby improving the clarity and resolution of the image.
[0043] Secondly, the tube lens TL has a positive optical power. Through the combination of the fifth cemented lens B5, the sixth cemented lens B6, and the twenty-first lens L21, the imaging quality can be improved. Cemented lenses can suppress chromatic aberration, and single lenses can optimize the convergence of the optical path to ensure high contrast and sharpness of the image. The synergistic effect of the microscope objective Obj and the tube lens TL, through the precise correction of multiple lens groups, can significantly expand the field of view range of the system while maintaining high resolution and imaging clarity.
[0044] In addition, through the transmission of the light field, the microscopic imaging optical system images the sample on the object side onto the sensor on the image side at an appropriate magnification, and can provide a long working distance of the microscope objective Obj, the entrance pupil distance and the back working distance of the tube lens TL, enabling the microscopic imaging optical system to have a large operating space to add various other optical components required for each application scenario, such as oblique illumination, coaxial illumination, autofocus module, filter, dichroic mirror, beam splitter, mirror, prism, etc. to meet the microscopic imaging requirements of the application scenario.
[0045] Finally, the optical system can provide a large field of view imaging field of 45 mm, thereby reducing the number of image acquisitions for quantity detection and improving the quantity detection efficiency.
[0046] As an example, the microscopic imaging optical system of the present disclosure can provide at least microscopic objective lens focal lengths of 10 mm, 20 mm, 40 mm, and a parfocal distance of 95 mm for the microscopic objective lens.
[0047] In some embodiments, the focal length of the tube lens TL is 200 mm.
[0048] In some embodiments, where the microscopic objective lens Obj is an infinity conjugate objective lens, at least for imaging an object on the object side to infinity, and the tube lens TL is an infinity focusing lens, at least for imaging an object at infinity onto a detector on the image side. With this arrangement, microscopic objective lenses Obj with different focal lengths combined with a tube lens TL with a focal length of 200 mm can form microscopic imaging optical systems with different magnification factors.
[0049] As an example, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the total focal length f of the microscopic objective lens Obj is 20 mm. Here, the focal lengths of the first lens group G1, the second lens group G2, and the third lens group G3 satisfy: 1.0 < |f1 / f| < 2.0, 1.5 < |f2 / f| < 2.5, 7.0 < |f3 / f| < 8.0, where f1 is the focal length of the first lens group G1, f2 is the focal length of the second lens group G2, and f3 is the focal length of the third lens group G3.
[0050] In some embodiments, the object side of the first lens L1 is concave, and the image side of the first lens L1 is concave. The object side of the second lens L2 is convex, and the image side of the second lens L2 is convex. The object side of the third lens L3 is convex, and the image side of the third lens L3 is convex.

The object side of the fifteenth lens L15 is convex, and the image side of the fifteenth lens L15 is convex.
[0051] With this arrangement, the approximately planar object side and the concave image side of the first lens L1 contribute to initial light collection and reduce spherical aberration. The convex shapes of the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 can enhance light convergence and optimize axial chromatic aberration and astigmatism. The convex-concave combination of the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 effectively corrects chromatic aberration, and the planar image side of the fifth lens L5 can stabilize the optical path. The convex-concave shape of the sixth lens L6 helps correct coma. The convex-convex-concave combination of the seventh lens L7 to the ninth lens L9 can optimize coma and distortion, and the concave side of the eighth lens L8 can balance aberrations. The convex-concave shapes of the tenth lens L10 to the twelfth lens L12 can correct field curvature. The convex-concave shapes of the thirteenth lens L13 to the fourteenth lens L14 can improve lateral chromatic aberration. The convex side and the approximately planar image side of the fifteenth lens L15 can ensure field uniformity.

Here, the focal lengths of the first lens group G1, the second lens group G2, and the third lens group G3 satisfy: 0.5 < |f1 / f| < 1.5, 1.3 < |f2 / f| < 2.3, 1.0 < |f3 / f| < 2.0, Among them, f1 is the focal length of the first lens group G1, f2 is the focal length of the second lens group G2, and f3 is the focal length of the third lens group G3.

[0061] In some embodiments, the diameter D of the aperture STOP of the microscopic objective lens Obj is associated with the numerical aperture NA of the microscopic objective lens Obj, NA = D / (2*f), where f is the focal length of the microscopic objective lens Obj. Different diameters D of the aperture STOP and different focal lengths f of the microscopic objective lens Obj can determine the size of the numerical aperture NA of the microscopic objective lens Obj.
[0062] When f is 20 mm, the diameter D of the aperture STOP is 12 mm, and the numerical aperture NA of the microscopic objective lens Obj is 0.3.
[0063] When f is 40 mm, the diameter D of the aperture STOP is 12 mm, and the numerical aperture NA of the microscopic objective lens Obj is 0.15.
[0064] When f is 10 mm, the diameter D of the aperture STOP is 8 mm, and the numerical aperture NA of the microscopic objective lens Obj is 0.4.
[0065] In some embodiments, the working wavelength band of the optical system includes 400 nm - 700 nm. In this way, the wide wavelength band can support multi-color imaging, can be used for the simultaneous excitation and detection of multiple fluorescent dyes in a fluorescence microscope, and improve the diversity of biological sample analysis. Secondly, the visible wavelength band matches the human eye vision, and the imaging result is intuitive, which is convenient for direct observation or recording.
[0066] In some embodiments, the magnification M of the optical system = the focal length of the tube lens TL / the total focal length of the microscope objective Obj. The focal length of the tube lens TL is 200 mm, and the focal length of the microscope objective Obj can be at least 20 mm, 40 mm, and 10 mm. Therefore, the optical system can have different magnifications, such as 10x, 5x, and 20x.
[0067] In some embodiments, the distance between the object side of the first lens L1 and the object is in the range of 7.0 mm to 13.0 mm. In this way, the long working distance of the microscope objective can provide sufficient space for convenient operation and observation of thick samples.
[0068] In some embodiments, the front entrance pupil distance of the tube lens TL is in the range of 100.0 mm to 210.0 mm, and the rear working distance of the tube lens TL is in the range of 150.0 mm to 151.0 mm. In this way, a large front entrance pupil distance can facilitate adding other optical elements, such as dichroic mirrors, filters, prisms, etc., in the parallel light section between the microscope objective Obj and the tube lens TL according to actual usage requirements. A large rear working distance can facilitate adding required optical elements, such as beam splitters and filters, etc., between the tube lens TL and the image-side detector according to actual usage requirements.
[0069] In some embodiments, the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5, the sixth lens L6, the seventh lens L7, the eighth lens L8, the ninth lens L9, the tenth lens L10, the eleventh lens L11, the twelfth lens L12, the thirteenth lens L13, the fourteenth lens L14, the fifteenth lens L15, the sixteenth lens L16, the seventeenth lens L17, the eighteenth lens L18, the nineteenth lens L19, the twentieth lens L20, and the twenty-first lens L21 are standard spherical lenses. In this way, the manufacturing process of the standard spherical lenses is mature, which can ensure high quality and consistency, and can reduce the manufacturing cost. In addition, the spherical lenses can provide excellent light converging ability, maintain high resolution and contrast, and ensure image clarity and detail performance. Through the combination of spherical lenses and material selection, aberration problems such as chromatic aberration and spherical aberration can be effectively corrected, thereby improving the imaging quality.
[0070] The present disclosure also provides a microscope. The microscope includes the optical system of any one of the above.
[0071] In some embodiments, the microscope further includes a first optical element disposed between the microscope objective Obj and the tube lens TL.
[0072] As an example, the first optical element may include a dichroic mirror. A dichroic mirror is a special optical element that can selectively reflect or transmit light according to wavelength. Its main function is to separate the excitation light and the emission light in applications such as fluorescence microscopes. For example, in fluorescence imaging, the dichroic mirror allows short-wavelength excitation light to pass through to illuminate the sample, while reflecting the long-wavelength fluorescence signal to the tube lens TL and the detector. This separation improves the imaging contrast, reduces the interference of background light, thereby enhancing the detection accuracy of the fluorescence signal, and is applicable to scenarios such as cell imaging in biomedical research.
[0073] As another example, the first optical element may include a filter. The function of a filter is to selectively transmit light of a specific wavelength and block light of other wavelengths. In microscopic imaging, filters are often used to enhance the contrast and purity of the image. For example, in a fluorescence microscope, a band-pass filter can only allow the fluorescence wavelength emitted by the sample to pass through, filtering out the excitation light or other stray light, thereby improving the clarity of the signal. In addition, filters can also be used in multispectral imaging to separate light of different bands, and are applicable to material analysis or multicolor labeling research of biological samples.
[0074] As another example, the first optical element may include a prism. The main function of a prism is to change the direction of the light path or disperse light. For example, in a stereomicroscope or a polarization microscope, a prism can be used to adjust the light path to achieve observation at a specific angle, or divide the light beam into multiple paths to support multi-view imaging. In addition, a dispersive prism can separate light of different wavelengths and is applicable to spectral analysis or multi-color imaging systems. The addition of a prism enhances the flexibility of the system, enabling it to adapt to complex optical configurations such as polarization detection or multi-path microscopic imaging.
[0075] In some embodiments, the microscope further includes a second optical element disposed between the tube lens TL and the image-side detector.
[0076] As an example, the second optical element may include a beam splitter. The function of a beam splitter is to divide the incident light beam into two or more beams according to a certain ratio or characteristic. For example, in a microscopic imaging system, a beam splitter can divide the light beam into two, one path is directed to the main detector (such as a CCD camera) for imaging, and the other path is directed to an auxiliary detector (such as a spectrometer) for spectral analysis. This configuration supports simultaneous imaging and spectral measurement and is widely used in multimodal microscopes. In addition, beam splitters can also be used for dual-channel imaging, enhancing the versatility of the system and improving the detection efficiency.
[0077] As another example, the second optical element may include a filter. The function of the filter is to selectively transmit light of a specific wavelength and block light of other wavelengths. In microscopic imaging, filters are commonly used to enhance the contrast and purity of images. For example, in a fluorescence microscope, a bandpass filter allows only the fluorescence wavelength emitted by the sample to pass through, filtering out the excitation light or other stray light, thereby improving the clarity of the signal. In addition, filters can also be used in multispectral imaging to separate light of different bands, which is suitable for material analysis or multicolor labeling studies of biological samples.

The distortion is 0.33%, and the distortion amount is small, so the distortion is effectively corrected.
[0087] As Figure 9 shown, it can be seen from the modulation transfer function curve graph of the microscopic imaging optical system with a magnification of 10 times that it is close to the diffraction limit.

It is a flat-field microscopic objective lens, and the field curvature is effectively corrected. The distortion is 0.40%, and the amount of distortion is small, so the distortion is effectively corrected.
