Description

[0002] In the field of microscopy, the microscope, as a crucial scientific instrument, is widely used in various fields such as biology, materials science, and medical research. It magnifies images of tiny objects through an optical system, allowing researchers to observe details invisible to the naked eye. The performance of a microscope primarily depends on the quality and magnification of its objectives. A single optical microscope typically has multiple objectives with different magnifications (e.g., 10×, 40×, 60×, 100×, etc.) to allow for switching between objectives with different magnifications according to different observation needs.

[0003] Optical microscope objectives can employ plan apochromatic objectives. These objectives can precisely correct chromatic aberration in red, green, and blue light, and also correct field curvature, ensuring clear image representation across the entire field of view. For example, Chinese patent document CN113485001A discloses a plan apochromatic microscope objective and optical system. However, the optical system disclosed in this patent document is limited by its design shortcomings. At 60x magnification, the numerical aperture is 1.3, and the working distance is 0.17mm, exhibiting technical deficiencies such as insufficient numerical aperture, insufficient resolution, and insufficient working distance.
