Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress an irregularity in color tone and reduce the cost by a decrease in the number of components by constituting a lens right behind a stop by using an infrared-ray cutting filter. CONSTITUTION:The piano-convex lens L formed of a color temperature compensating and absorbing filter is arranged right behind the brightness stop S. Namely, this objective consists of a 1st group which has negative refracting power, the brightness stop S, a 2nd group with positive refracting power in which a surface on an image side arranged right behind the stop S is convex, and a 3rd group with positive refracting power in order from the object side, and the 2nd group consists of the color temperature compensating and absorbing filter. Further, 0.85<=¦R¦/D<=1.15 holds. Here, R is the radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the positive lens in the 2nd group and D is the thickness of this lens. Consequently, even if the angle of incidence of a light beam made incident on the 2nd group becomes large, there is no difference between an on-axis light beam and an off-axis light beam.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a solid-state image sensor has sensitivity to infrared rays, and therefore, in an electronic endoscope using a solid-state image sensor as an image sensor, it is necessary to insert an infrared cut filter into an optical system. .. Therefore, conventionally, for example, as described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-114414, an infrared cut filter is provided in an objective lens in front of a solid-state image sensor, or a part of the lens in the objective lens is cut by infrared rays. It was formed of glass (infrared absorption filter).

Further, as technology advances, solid-state image pickup devices (hereinafter referred to as CCDs) have been miniaturized, but the spectral sensitivity of CCDs does not change so much. It cannot be thinned. Therefore, the hard portion at the tip of the endoscope cannot be shortened for the miniaturization of the CCD. Further, in order to eliminate this drawback, it has been proposed to form part of the objective lens with a color temperature correction filter. However, since the objective optical system as shown in FIG. 10 is a telecentric system and the field lens is an infrared cut lens, a difference in length between the axial principal ray path and the off-axis principal ray path in this infrared ray cut lens L 2 . Occurs, the path becomes shorter as it goes off axis. As a result, the infrared cut amount decreases toward the periphery of the image, so that the smear cannot be properly removed, or a problem such as uneven color tone occurs.

If the value exceeds the upper limit of the condition (2), that is, if the focal length of the second lens unit becomes long, the curvatures of other lenses become tight, and coma aberration, astigmatism, etc. worsen. Since the number of lenses must be increased, the total length becomes long, which is unsuitable as an endoscope objective lens. When the value goes below the lower limit of the condition (2), the focal length of the second lens unit becomes short and the lens has a strong curvature, and since the second lens unit is arranged immediately after the stop, the influence on the spherical aberration is large and this aberration is deteriorated. Not preferable. In this way, condition (2)

When | f 1 / f | becomes less than the lower limit of the condition (3), the distance between the negative lens group and the positive lens group becomes short, and it becomes difficult to provide a filter immediately before the aperture stop. Also, if | f 1 / f | exceeds the upper limit of condition (3),
The distance between the negative lens group and the positive lens group becomes too large,
It is not preferable because the total length of the lens system becomes long. Therefore, it is desirable to satisfy the condition (3) in order to provide the filter in the optical system and shorten the total length of the optical system.

The fourth embodiment has the configuration shown in FIG. 4, in which the color temperature correction filter lens L is divided into a plano-convex lens L 1 and parallel plane plate filters F 1 and F 2 , and the filters F 1 and
In this configuration, F 2 is divided into the front of the aperture stop S and the rear of the plano-convex lens L 1 . With this configuration, a measure for preventing the total thickness of the correction filter from becoming thicker than the total combined focal length due to the reduction in size of the CCD and thus making the filter F 1 divided into the lens thicker Here is an example. That is, as the filter F 1 becomes thicker, the gap between the aperture stop and the first group negative lens becomes wider,
This is to prevent the outer diameter of the lens from increasing. By dividing into three as described above, the filter F 2 is provided after the plano-convex lens L 1 without increasing the thickness of the filter F 1 arranged in front of the diaphragm S so much. This makes it possible to obtain the effect of reducing the outer diameter of the distal end while hardly changing the length of the rigid end portion of the endoscope. The filter F 2 may be arranged after the third group.
