Description

本発明は、内視鏡の先端部に設けられる対物レンズに関し、特に、その像面側に光路変換プリズムが配置されるような長いバックフォーカスを有する光学系に対応可能な内視鏡用対物レンズに関する。   BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an objective lens provided at a distal end portion of an endoscope, and in particular, an endoscope objective lens that can be applied to an optical system having a long back focus in which an optical path conversion prism is disposed on the image plane side. About.

従来より、先端部において、CCD(Charge Coupled Device)などの固体撮像素子を長手方向に対し平行に配置した構成の内視鏡が知られている。図23はその内視鏡における対物光学系の概略を示している。図23に示したように、固体撮像素子200が内視鏡の先端部において軸方向(長手方向)Zに対し平行に配置されている。そして、その対物レンズ100と固体撮像素子200との間にカバーガラス101を介して光路変換プリズム102が挿入配置されるようになっている。対物レンズ100の光軸Z1は、光路変換プリズム102によって、固体撮像素子200の方向に略90度折り曲げられる。この光路変換プリズム102の大きさはイメージサイズで決まり、光路変換プリズム102が挿入配置される対物レンズ100の最終面から結像位置Pまでの距離(ほぼ、バックフォーカスと同等)を十分に確保しておく必要がある。このため、全系の焦点距離に比べてバックフォーカスの長い対物レンズが必要とされている。しかしながら、内視鏡用の対物レンズは、その広角化の要請に伴い、イメージサイズが同一でも焦点距離は短くなる傾向にあり、十分なバックフォーカスを得ることは困難であった。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an endoscope having a configuration in which a solid-state imaging device such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) is arranged in parallel with a longitudinal direction at a distal end portion is known. FIG. 23 shows an outline of an objective optical system in the endoscope. As shown in FIG. 23, the solid-state imaging device 200 is arranged in parallel to the axial direction (longitudinal direction) Z at the distal end portion of the endoscope. An optical path conversion prism 102 is inserted and disposed between the objective lens 100 and the solid-state image sensor 200 via a cover glass 101. The optical axis Z1 of the objective lens 100 is bent by approximately 90 degrees in the direction of the solid-state imaging device 200 by the optical path conversion prism 102. The size of the optical path conversion prism 102 is determined by the image size, and a sufficient distance (almost equal to the back focus) from the final surface of the objective lens 100 in which the optical path conversion prism 102 is inserted to the imaging position P is secured. It is necessary to keep. For this reason, an objective lens having a long back focus compared with the focal length of the entire system is required. However, with an objective lens for an endoscope, the focal length tends to be shortened even if the image size is the same, and it has been difficult to obtain a sufficient back focus.

本願出願人は、特許文献1ないし特許文献3において4群5構成の内視鏡用対物レンズを提案している。特に特許文献3では、バックフォーカスが全系の合成焦点距離fに比べ2倍よりも長い十分なバックフォーカスを確保した内視鏡用対物レンズを提案している。

The applicant of the present application has proposed an objective lens for an endoscope having a 4 group 5 configuration in Patent Documents 1 to 3. In particular, Patent Document 3 proposes an endoscope objective lens that has a sufficient back focus that is longer than twice the total focal length f of the entire system.
Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-54373 Japanese Patent No. 3051035 JP 2004-61763 A

一方、内視鏡用対物レンズは被写界深度を深くするためにF値の暗いものが多く、球面収差やコマ収差が画質を決める重要な要因となることは少なく、画質劣化の大きな要因として倍率色収差が挙げられる。特に近年では、固体撮像素子の高密度化が進み、画素数が増大するにつれ、倍率色収差の十分な補正が必要とされている。倍率色収差を補正するには、絞りより離れた位置に倍率色収差補正を担う光学部材が配置されていることが好ましい。特に絞りより像側では、結像面に近い位置に倍率色収差補正を担う光学部材が配置されているほど、その効果がより顕著である。しかしながら、バックフォーカスの長いレンズ系においては、結像面に近い位置に光学部材が存在せず、倍率色収差の補正は容易ではなかった。上記各特許文献に記載の内視鏡用対物レンズは、倍率色収差の補正の点でまだ改善の余地がある。   On the other hand, many objective lenses for endoscopes have a dark F value in order to increase the depth of field, and spherical aberration and coma are rarely important factors that determine image quality. A lateral chromatic aberration is mentioned. Particularly in recent years, as the density of solid-state imaging devices has increased and the number of pixels has increased, sufficient correction of lateral chromatic aberration has been required. In order to correct lateral chromatic aberration, it is preferable that an optical member for correcting lateral chromatic aberration is disposed at a position away from the stop. In particular, on the image side from the stop, the effect is more remarkable as the optical member for correcting the chromatic aberration of magnification is arranged at a position closer to the imaging surface. However, in a lens system with a long back focus, there is no optical member at a position close to the image plane, and it is not easy to correct lateral chromatic aberration. The endoscope objective lenses described in the above patent documents still have room for improvement in terms of correcting the lateral chromatic aberration.

本発明はかかる問題点に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的は、像面側に光路変換プリズムを挿入配置することが可能な十分な長さのバックフォーカスを確保しつつ、倍率色収差を良好に補正することができるようにした内視鏡用対物レンズを提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and its purpose is to improve the lateral chromatic aberration while ensuring a sufficiently long back focus capable of inserting and arranging an optical path conversion prism on the image plane side. An object of the present invention is to provide an endoscope objective lens that can be corrected.

本発明による内視鏡用対物レンズは、物体側から順に、像面側の面が凹面とされた負の第1レンズと、像面側の面が平面または物体側の面に比べて曲率半径の絶対値が大きい面とされた正の第2レンズと、物体側の面が平面または像面側の面に比べて曲率半径の絶対値が大きい面とされた正の第3レンズと、物体側の面が平面または像面側の面に比べて曲率半径の絶対値が大きい面とされた正の第4レンズおよび負のメニスカス形状の第5レンズからなり全体で正の屈折力を有する接合レンズとが配設されると共に、第2レンズと第3レンズとの間に明るさ絞りが配置され、全系のバックフォーカスが全系の合成焦点距離の2倍よりも長く、かつ、下記条件式を満足するように構成されているものである。
(ν2+ν5)<45 ……(1)
ただし、ν2は第2レンズのアッベ数、ν5は第5レンズのアッベ数とする。
An endoscope objective lens according to the present invention includes, in order from the object side, a negative first lens whose surface on the image surface side is a concave surface, and a radius of curvature as compared with a surface on the image surface side or a surface on the object side. A positive second lens whose surface has a large absolute value, a positive third lens whose surface on the object side is a flat surface or a surface whose absolute value of curvature radius is larger than that of the surface on the image surface side, and an object A cemented surface having a positive refractive power as a whole comprising a positive fourth lens and a negative meniscus fifth lens whose side surface is a plane or a surface having a larger absolute value of the radius of curvature than a plane or image side surface And an aperture stop between the second lens and the third lens, the back focus of the entire system is longer than twice the combined focal length of the entire system, and the following conditions It is comprised so that a formula may be satisfied.
2 + ν 5 ) <45 (1)
Here, ν 2 is the Abbe number of the second lens, and ν 5 is the Abbe number of the fifth lens.

本発明による内視鏡用対物レンズでは、最も像面側に倍率色収差補正を担う光学部材として接合レンズを配置し、さらに条件式(1)を満足して、明るさ絞りに対して物体側にある正の第2レンズと明るさ絞りに対して像面側にありかつ最も像面に近い位置にある負の第5レンズとのアッベ数を小さく抑えることで、全系のバックフォーカスを全系の合成焦点距離の2倍よりも長くして像面側に光路変換プリズムを挿入配置することが可能な十分な長さのバックフォーカスを確保しつつ、倍率色収差が良好に補正される。   In the endoscope objective lens according to the present invention, a cemented lens is disposed as an optical member for correcting chromatic aberration of magnification closest to the image plane side, further satisfies the conditional expression (1), and is located on the object side with respect to the aperture stop. By keeping the Abbe number between a certain positive second lens and the negative fifth lens closest to the image plane on the image plane side with respect to the aperture stop, the entire back focus of the entire system is reduced. The lateral chromatic aberration is corrected well while ensuring a back focus having a length sufficient to allow the optical path conversion prism to be inserted and disposed on the image plane side longer than twice the combined focal length.

本発明による内視鏡用対物レンズにおいて、さらに条件式(2)を満足することが好ましい。条件式(2)を満足することで、十分な長さのバックフォーカスの確保と倍率色収差の補正とをさらにし易くなる。
2×(ν5−ν4)/{RA・(Bf+D5/n5)}≧10 ……(2)
ただし、fは全系の合成焦点距離、Bfは全系のバックフォーカス、ν4は第4レンズのアッベ数、ν5は第5レンズのアッベ数、RAは第4レンズと第5レンズとの接合面の曲率半径、D5は第5レンズの中心厚、n5は第5レンズの屈折率とする。
In the endoscope objective lens according to the present invention, it is preferable that the conditional expression (2) is further satisfied. Satisfying conditional expression (2) makes it easier to secure a sufficiently long back focus and correct lateral chromatic aberration.
f 2 × (ν 5 −ν 4 ) / {R A · (Bf + D 5 / n 5 )} ≧ 10 (2)
Where f is the total focal length of the entire system, Bf is the back focus of the entire system, ν 4 is the Abbe number of the fourth lens, ν 5 is the Abbe number of the fifth lens, and R A is the fourth lens and the fifth lens. , D 5 is the center thickness of the fifth lens, and n 5 is the refractive index of the fifth lens.

本発明の内視鏡用対物レンズによれば、全系のバックフォーカスが全系の合成焦点距離の2倍よりも長い内視鏡用対物レンズであって、最も像面側に倍率色収差補正を担う光学部材として接合レンズを配置し、さらに条件式(1)を満足して、明るさ絞りに対して物体側にある正の第2レンズと明るさ絞りに対して像面側にありかつ最も像面に近い位置にある負の第5レンズとのアッベ数を小さく抑えるようにしたので、像面側に光路変換プリズムを挿入配置することが可能な十分な長さのバックフォーカスを確保しつつ、倍率色収差を良好に補正することができる。   According to the endoscope objective lens of the present invention, the back focus of the entire system is an endoscope objective lens that is longer than twice the combined focal length of the entire system, and the lateral chromatic aberration correction is performed on the most image side. A cemented lens is disposed as an optical member to be held, and further satisfies the conditional expression (1). The positive second lens on the object side with respect to the aperture stop and the image surface side with respect to the aperture stop are the most. Since the Abbe number with the negative fifth lens located close to the image plane is kept small, it is possible to secure a sufficiently long back focus capable of inserting and arranging the optical path conversion prism on the image plane side. The chromatic aberration of magnification can be corrected satisfactorily.

2 + ν 5 ) <40 (1A)

また、この内視鏡用対物レンズは、接合レンズL45に関し下記条件式を満足することが好ましい。ただし、ν4は第4レンズL4のアッベ数、ν5は第5レンズL5のアッベ数、RAは第4レンズと第5レンズとの接合面の曲率半径、D5は第5レンズの中心厚、n5は第5レンズの屈折率とする。

The lower limit of this conditional expression is more preferably the following value from the viewpoint of correcting chromatic aberration of magnification.
f 2 × (ν 5 −ν 4 ) / {R A · (Bf + D 5 / n 5 )} ≧ 17 (2A)

次に、以上のように構成された内視鏡用対物レンズの作用および効果を説明する。
この内視鏡用対物レンズでは、全系のバックフォーカスBfを全系の合成焦点距離fの2倍よりも長くした4群5枚のレンズ構成において、明るさ絞りStから離れた場所で最も像面側に倍率色収差補正を担う光学部材として接合レンズを配置し、かつ、各レンズの硝材を適切なものとすることで、像面側に光路変換プリズムGPを挿入配置することが可能な十分な長さのバックフォーカスを確保しつつ、倍率色収差を良好に補正している。
Next, operations and effects of the endoscope objective lens configured as described above will be described.
In this endoscope objective lens, in the four-group five-lens configuration in which the back focal length Bf of the entire system is longer than twice the combined focal length f of the entire system, the most image is obtained at a place far from the aperture stop St. By arranging a cemented lens as an optical member for correcting chromatic aberration of magnification on the surface side and using an appropriate glass material for each lens, the optical path conversion prism GP can be inserted and disposed on the image surface side. The lateral chromatic aberration is satisfactorily corrected while ensuring a long back focus.

通常、色収差の補正が不十分な結像レンズにおいては、短波長における焦点距離が長波長の焦点距離よりも短いので、軸上色収差と倍率色収差共に短波長が基準波長に比べマイナス(アンダー)となる。ここで倍率色収差のアンダーを補正する場合、明るさ絞りStより後方では、正レンズのアッベ数は大きく、負レンズのアッベ数は小さくすると良い。逆に明るさ絞りStより前方では、正レンズのアッベ数は小さく、負レンズのアッベ数は大きくすると良い。上記条件式(1)を満足することで、明るさ絞りStに対して物体側にある正の第2レンズL2と明るさ絞りStに対して像面側にありかつ最も像面に近い位置にある負の第5レンズL5とのアッベ数を小さく抑えることができ、倍率色収差の補正をし易くなる。   Normally, in an imaging lens with insufficient correction of chromatic aberration, the focal length at the short wavelength is shorter than the focal length at the long wavelength, so both the longitudinal chromatic aberration and the lateral chromatic aberration are smaller (under) than the reference wavelength. Become. Here, when correcting under-magnification chromatic aberration, it is preferable that the Abbe number of the positive lens is large and the Abbe number of the negative lens is small behind the aperture stop St. On the contrary, in front of the aperture stop St, it is preferable that the Abbe number of the positive lens is small and the Abbe number of the negative lens is large. By satisfying the conditional expression (1), the positive second lens L2 on the object side with respect to the aperture stop St and the position on the image plane side with respect to the aperture stop St and closest to the image plane. The Abbe number with a certain negative fifth lens L5 can be kept small, and it becomes easy to correct lateral chromatic aberration.

条件式(2)は、色収差補正を担う光学部材としての接合レンズL45における接合面の倍率色収差に対する補正の度合いを示している。条件式(2)は、接合レンズL45を構成する第4レンズL4と第5レンズL5とのアッベ数の差(ν5−ν4)を、全系の合成焦点距離fで規格化した接合レンズL45の接合面の曲率半径RAと全系のバックフォーカスBfに第5レンズL5の空気換算長D5/n5を加えた値(Bf+D5/n5)とで割ったものである。条件式(2)は、第4レンズL4と第5レンズL5とのアッベ数差(ν5−ν4)が大きく、また、接合面の曲率半径RAが小さく、接合面が結像位置に短いほど倍率色収差の補正に有利なことを示す。 Conditional expression (2) indicates the degree of correction with respect to lateral chromatic aberration of the cemented surface in the cemented lens L45 as an optical member responsible for chromatic aberration correction. Conditional expression (2) is a cemented lens in which the Abbe number difference (ν 5 −ν 4 ) between the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 constituting the cemented lens L45 is normalized by the total focal length f of the entire system. the radius of curvature R a and the back focus Bf of the whole system of the joint surface of the L45 is obtained by dividing out the equivalent air length D 5 / n 5 a value obtained by adding the fifth lens L5 (Bf + D 5 / n 5). Conditional expression (2) shows that the Abbe number difference (ν 5 −ν 4 ) between the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 is large, the radius of curvature R A of the cemented surface is small, and the cemented surface is at the imaging position. The shorter the value, the better the correction of chromatic aberration of magnification.

以上説明したように、本実施の形態に係る内視鏡用対物レンズによれば、全系のバックフォーカスBfが全系の合成焦点距離fの2倍よりも長い内視鏡用対物レンズにおいて、最も像面側に倍率色収差補正を担う光学部材として接合レンズL45を配置し、さらに条件式(1)を満足して、明るさ絞りStに対して物体側にある正の第2レンズL2と明るさ絞りStに対して像面側にありかつ最も像面に近い位置にある負の第5レンズL5とのアッベ数を小さく抑えるようにしたので、像面側に光路変換プリズムGPを挿入配置することが可能な十分な長さのバックフォーカスを確保しつつ、倍率色収差を良好に補正することができる。   As described above, according to the endoscope objective lens according to the present embodiment, in the endoscope objective lens, the back focus Bf of the entire system is longer than twice the combined focal length f of the entire system. The cemented lens L45 is disposed as an optical member for correcting the chromatic aberration of magnification on the most image side, and further satisfies the conditional expression (1), and the positive second lens L2 on the object side with respect to the aperture stop St and the brightness. Since the Abbe number with the negative fifth lens L5 located closest to the image plane and closest to the image plane with respect to the aperture stop St is suppressed, the optical path conversion prism GP is inserted and disposed on the image plane side. Therefore, it is possible to satisfactorily correct lateral chromatic aberration while ensuring a sufficiently long back focus.

次に、本実施の形態に係る内視鏡用対物レンズの具体的な数値実施例について説明する。以下では、第1〜第6の数値実施例をまとめて説明する。   Next, specific numerical examples of the endoscope objective lens according to the present embodiment will be described. Hereinafter, the first to sixth numerical examples will be described together.

In the column νdj, the Abbe number value for the d-line of the j-th (j = 1 to 6) optical element from the object side is shown.
