[0010] As attached Figure 1-3 As shown, a wide-angle eyepiece optical system is characterized by the following components arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the image side: eyepiece first lens 1, eyepiece second lens 2, eyepiece third lens 3, eyepiece fourth lens 4, eyepiece fifth lens 5, eyepiece sixth lens 6, and eyepiece seventh lens 7. Eyepiece 1 and eyepiece 2 form a cemented lens. Eyepiece 1 is a concave-convex lens with its concave surface facing the object side. Eyepiece 2 is a biconcave lens. Eyepiece 3 is a concave-convex lens with its concave surface facing the object side. Eyepiece 4 and eyepiece 5 form a cemented lens. Eyepiece 4 is a plano-concave lens with its planar surface facing the object side. Eyepiece 5 is a biconvex lens. Eyepiece 6 and eyepiece 7 form a cemented lens. Eyepiece 6 is a concave-convex lens with its convex surface facing the object side. Eyepiece 7 is a plano-convex lens with its convex surface facing the object side.

[0011] The first eyepiece lens 1 has an object-side radius of curvature of -24.55 mm, an image-side radius of curvature of -14.928 mm, a center thickness of 3.3 mm, is made of H-ZF6 glass, and has an overall diameter of 19 mm. The second eyepiece lens 2 has an object-side radius of curvature of -14.928 mm, an image-side radius of curvature of 24.55 mm, a center thickness of 1.5 mm, is made of H-ZK3L glass, and has an overall diameter of 19 mm. The third eyepiece lens 3 has an object-side radius of curvature of -51.95 mm, an image-side radius of curvature of -23.66 mm, a center thickness of 6 mm, is made of H-LaK52 glass, and has an overall diameter of 32.5 mm. The fourth eyepiece lens 4 has a flat object side and an image-side radius of curvature of 46.56 mm. The first eyepiece has a center thickness of 2.8mm, is made of H-ZF7L glass, and has an outer diameter of 32.5mm; the second eyepiece has an object-side radius of curvature of 46.56mm, an image-side radius of curvature of -46.56mm, a center thickness of 7.9mm, is made of H-LaK52 glass, and has an outer diameter of 32.5mm; the third eyepiece has an object-side radius of curvature of 23.66mm, an image-side radius of curvature of 13.274mm, a center thickness of 2.3mm, is made of H-ZF7L glass, and has an outer diameter of 27mm; the fourth eyepiece has an object-side radius of curvature of 13.274mm, an image-side flat surface, a center thickness of 9.1mm, is made of H-LaK52 glass, and has an outer diameter of 23mm.

[0014] Appendix Figure 2 This is the magnification chromatic aberration curve of this application. The wavelengths of the magnification chromatic aberration curves are 0.4861μm, 0.5876μm, and 0.6563μm, respectively. Through the magnification chromatic aberration curves, we can see that the magnification chromatic aberration of this application is well controlled. The maximum half field of view is 41°. In the full field of view (20μm at the edge), the maximum offset is approximately between ±5μm and ±8μm, which controls the chromatic aberration at the edge within a range that is difficult for the human eye to perceive.

[0015] Appendix Figure 3This is a grid distortion diagram of this application. As can be seen from the grid distortion diagram, this application has obvious barrel distortion, with a maximum distortion rate of approximately -18.96%. However, for an 82° wide-angle eyepiece, this value is within the normal range. When used for astronomical observation, the distortion has almost no impact on its use. This application performs excellently in terms of wide angle and low chromatic aberration.

Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
