[0002] In microscopic industrial inspection scenarios such as semiconductor manufacturing and microelectronic component inspection, the spectral coverage, field of view, and imaging accuracy of optical imaging systems directly determine the inspection efficiency and defect identification accuracy.
[0003] With the increasing demands for detection accuracy and efficiency, the microscope objective, a key component of traditional microscopic imaging systems, has significant limitations: it is only compatible with the 400-700nm visible light band, making it difficult to meet the needs of wide-spectrum detection; the target surface of the compatible cameras is mostly less than 1 inch, and the detection of large-size samples requires multiple scans and stitching, which limits efficiency and accuracy; the color difference correction under wide spectrum is insufficient, which can easily affect the recognition and judgment of the detection equipment, thereby interfering with the algorithm; the focal length is mostly between 160 and 200 mm, which limits the overall magnification of the imaging system when used with the microscope objective.
[0004] Industrial testing is currently developing towards the integration of "wide-spectrum multi-dimensional analysis, large field of view rapid detection, and high-precision quantitative measurement." However, traditional tube endoscopes can no longer meet the comprehensive needs, and there is an urgent need to develop high-performance tube endoscopes with wide spectrum and large target surface to break through technical bottlenecks and support the technological upgrading of the field.

This broadband large-target-area telescope has a focal length f of 400 mm, a spectral range of 320 nm to 1100 nm, and a maximum target area of 83 mm.
[0021] In this embodiment, the optical system satisfies the following relationship: The air gap between the third crescent-shaped negative lens G3 and the fourth biconvex positive lens G4 is 0.2~2mm; The air gap between the sixth biconvex positive lens G6 and the seventh biconcave negative lens G7 is 15mm~30mm; The air gap between the seventh biconcave negative lens G7 and the eighth biconvex positive lens G8 is 15mm~30mm.

[0025] In this embodiment, the relationship satisfied by the optical system is: 0.2 < |BFL / f| < 0.7; Where BFL is the back focal length of the optical system, and f is the focal length of the optical system.
