[0036] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, this embodiment 1 provides a microscope tube, including a first lens 6, a second lens 7, a third lens 8, a fourth lens 9, and a fifth lens 10 arranged sequentially from the entrance pupil 5 to the image plane 11; the first lens 6 is connected to the second lens 7, the third lens 8 is a separate lens, and the fourth lens 9 and the fifth lens 10 are connected. In this embodiment, the first lens 6 and the second lens 7, as well as the fourth lens 9 and the fifth lens 10, are all cemented together.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first lens 6 is a biconvex lens, the second lens 7 is a biconcave lens, the third lens 8 is a biconvex lens, the fourth lens 9 is a biconvex lens, and the fifth lens 10 is a biconcave lens.

[0038] The ratio of the focal length f1 to the optical path focal length f, the refractive index Nd1 of the material, and the Abelian coefficient Vd1 of the first lens 6 are as follows:

[0039] 0.4 <f1 / f<0.8;1.55<Nd1<1.72;53<Vd1<59;

[0040] The ratio of the focal length f2 to the optical path focal length f of the second lens 7, the refractive index Nd2 of the material, and the Abelian coefficient Vd2 are as follows:

[0041] -20 <f2 / f<-7;1.68<Nd2<1.79;28<d2<45;

[0042] The ratio of the focal length f3 to the optical path focal length f, the refractive index Nd3, and the Abelian coefficient Vd3 of the third lens 8 are as follows:

[0043] 0.45 <f3 / f<0.75;1.53<Nd3<1.64;55<Vd3<68;

[0044] The ratio of the focal length f4 of the fourth lens 9 to the optical path focal length f, the material refractive index Nd4 and the Abbe number Vd4 are as follows respectively:

[0045] 0.6 < f4 / f < 1.2; 1.55 < Nd4 < 1.68; 38 < Vd4 < 51;

[0046] The ratio of the focal length f5 of the fifth lens 10 to the optical path focal length f, the material refractive index Nd5 and the Abbe number Vd5 are as follows respectively:

[0047] -0.35 < f5 / f < -0.48; 1.57 < Nd5 < 1.68; 38 < Vd5 < 51.

[0048] The specific parameters of the lens are shown in Table 1:

[0049] Table 1

[0050]

[0051] Wherein the lens surface numbered S1, S2 is the first lens 6, the lens surface numbered S2, S3 is the second lens 7, the lens surface numbered S4, S5 is the third lens 8, the lens surface numbered S6, S7 is the fourth lens 9, and the lens surface numbered S7, S8 is the fifth lens 10.

[0052] In the embodiment, the diameter (D) of the entrance pupil 5 of the tube lens is 16mm < D < 20mm, which can adapt to more microscopes with large exit pupil diameters. Specifically, the diameter of the entrance pupil 5 in the embodiment is preferably 17mm. According to the background art patent

[0111] paragraph, the focal length f of the tube lens is 124mm, and the aperture value FNo = 8.6. According to the calculation method: entrance pupil diameter = f / FNo, the entrance pupil diameter of the tube lens in the background art patent is 14.4mm. It can be seen that the entrance pupil 5 in the embodiment can adapt to more microscopes with large exit pupil diameters, and is more versatile.

[0053] In the embodiment, the image field of the optical system of the microscope tube lens is 12mm ≤ Y ≤ 16mm, and the optical path focal length of the optical system of the microscope tube lens is 100mm ≤ f ≤ 120mm. The diffraction spot of the optical system of the microscope tube lens in the embodiment is smaller than the Airy disk.

[0054] The microscope tube lens in the embodiment has a larger image field and a shorter focal length. According to the calculation formula y = Y / (f / f 物镜 ), wherein y is the object field; Y is the image field; f is the optical path focal length (also referred to as the tube lens focal length); f 物镜 is the objective lens focal length. Since the objective lens focal length f 物镜 is constant, the object field becomes larger.

[0055] When using the same magnification of the microscope objective, the microscope tube lens of the utility model can obtain a larger object field (for example, the object field of the 10x objective lens is 3.2mm, while the object field of the prior art is 1.79mm).

[0056] In combination Fig. 2 As shown in the utility model, the structure design and combination of the first lens 6, the second lens 7, the third lens 8, the fourth lens 9 and the fifth lens 10 make the diffraction spot diameter of the optical system smaller than the Airy spot diameter, the imaging effect reaches the diffraction limit, and the microscope tube lens has better imaging quality. In the prior art, only the spot diameter of the central field is smaller than the Airy spot diameter, and the spot diameter of the non-central field is larger than the Airy spot diameter, so the imaging effect does not reach the diffraction limit.

[0057] In the embodiment, the optical path structure composed of the first lens 6, the second lens 7, the third lens 8, the fourth lens 9 and the fifth lens 10 is sequentially arranged from the tube lens entrance pupil 5 to the image plane 11, and the first lens 6, the second lens 7, the third lens 8, the fourth lens 9 and the fifth lens 10 make the incident parallel light beam pass through the first lens 6, the second lens 7, the third lens 8, the fourth lens 9 and the fifth lens 10 in sequence to form an outgoing light beam.

[0058] When the staff assembles the tube lens, the cemented lenses of the first lens 6 and the second lens 7, the third lens 8, the fourth lens 9 and the fifth lens 10 are sequentially installed from the tube lens entrance pupil 5 to the image plane 11.

[0059] When imaging, the incident parallel light beam passes through the first lens 6, the second lens 7, the third lens 8, the fourth lens 9 and the fifth lens 10 in sequence to form an outgoing light beam. In the embodiment, the incident parallel light beam is the light beam emitted from the objective lens exit pupil, and the outgoing light beam obtained by the five lenses is clearly imaged on the image plane 11.

[0060] The embodiment provides an infinite microscope tube lens with a larger field of view, a larger entrance pupil diameter and a diffraction spot smaller than the Airy spot, so that the imaging quality is better, and the economic and applicable value is high.

[0061] It is to be understood that the embodiments that have been described are merely illustrative of the principles of the application. Numerous modifications can be made to the application without departing from the scope of the application. Accordingly, the application is not to be limited to the embodiments described herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
