Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to optical lens systems, and more particularly to lens systems suitable for endoscopies and the like.
- the complete optical system is thought of as consisting of four basic and separate optical functions. Those functions are, in sequence of the direction of the travelling fight as follows: 1. an objective which forms the first image of an object under surveillance, 2. a field lens which images the pupil of the objective onto the next image transfer lens, and 3. an image transfer lens which reimages the first image onto the next field lens. The pupil and image transfer steps are repeated as often as is needed to obtain a desired tube length. 4. A focussing iens which presents the final image to a sensor, like a person's eye, a CCD camera, or a photographic film. This approach is the classical approach and it is appropriate for the following reason. 1.
- the design of the optical system is broken up into parts with single and clearly defined and separate functions, functions to each of which an optical designer may bring considerable experience.
- the light transfer capacity and information transfer capacity of an e ⁇ doscope is at a maximum when the optical power is concentrated at the image planes and pupil planes.
- the expedience of this approach is brought out by numerous U.S. patents on endoscopes which consistently treat the objective, the relay system, and the eyepiece as separate parts of the total system.
- the present invention provides an integrated optical system suitable for endoscopes, borescopes, dental scopes, and the like which contains a minimum of elements and which elements have relatively long radii and need not be of a meniscus shape.
- the outside entrance pupil location is very suitable for a tapered probe or for concealment.
- the entrance pupil distance sufficient to accommodate a line-of-sight deviating prism is a natural consequence of the arrangement of the optical groups.
- the system leads itself to mass production and is highly insensitive to tilt and dece ⁇ tration of its components. As a consequence, it is eminently suitable as a disposable item.
- a lens system which is characterized by an integrated design which has an external entrance pupil and in which the majority of the groups are displaced form the image planes and pupil planes. In this way, most components share in the pupil transfer as well as in the image transfer.
- the aberration correction is distributed in an advantageous way over all the groups, providing relief to the first group which conventionally is in need of most of the aberration correction. It has been found that this integration of the optical functions and aberration correction is very beneficial in that it greatly simplifies the optical system.
- a plano-convex lens, or even a double convex lens when used according to the invention is free of astigmatism since it is displaced from the stop location. In this way, no optical surfaces of very short radii are needed to correct the astigmatism of the total optical system. Furthermore, the spherical aberration of a convex- piano lens used in the present invention is very near the minimum possible for a single element. Also, the chromatic aberration is greatly reduced by the displacement of the elements from the image planes and pupil planes as a comparison with the classical arrangement will readily show. A factor two to four in the reduction of the chromatic aberration is thus achieved without the presence of a chromatic aberration reducing element, sometimes making further color correction unnecessary.
- Figure 1 is an optical schematic view of an endoscope constructed in accordance with a conventional layout in which each component has a single function in the system.
- Figure 2 is an optical schematic view of a first preferred embodiment in which the entrance pupil is located outside the first group by a relatively small distance.
- Figure 3 is an optical schematic view of a second preferred embodiment in which full advantage of the power reduction and aberration reduction is taken by locating the entrance pupil outside the first group by a large distance.
- Figure 4 is an optical schematic view of a third preferred embodiment which incorporates a rod-shaped element.
- Figure 5 is an optical schematic of a fourth preferred embodiment of all glass elements which incorporates a single negative element which provides chromatic aberration correction of the whole system.
- Figure 6 is an optical schematic of a fifth preferred embodiment of a simple glass and plastic system with full correction of chromatic aberration.
- Figure 7 is an optical schematic view of a sixth preferred embodiment in which the three basic groups have been augmented by an element near the focal plane of the first group.
- Figure 8 is an optical schematic view of a seventh preferred embodiment in which a forth element of low optical power has been added near the focal plane of the first group and which contains a single negative element to correct the chromatic aberrations.
- Figure 9 is an optical schematic of an eighth preferred embodiment which incorporates a meniscus shaped element.
- Figure 10 is an optical schematic view of a ninth preferred embodiment which incorporates a second image relay and is fully corrected for chromatic aberrations with a single element of negative optical power.
- Figure 11 is an optical schematic view of a tenth preferred embodiment which incorporates a third image relay and is still fully corrected for chromatic aberrations using only one element of negative optical power.
- Tables I through XI present the constructional parameters of the preferred embodiments. All dimensions are in millimeters. The first column indicates the surface number, the second column indicates the radii, and the third column indicates the axial separations. The refractive indices and dispersion are presented in the usual manner, with respect to the e, F', and C spectral lines. The aspheric data are presented in the standard manner.
- Figure 1 is an optical schematic of an endoscope which is constructed in accordance with the classical concept of separation of the various functions. Group I is an objective which contains the entrance pupil plane while Group II represents a field lens which is located at the focal plane of the objective.
- Group III represents a transfer lens which transfers the image formed by the objective unto a next focal plane. All groups are located at pupil planes or focal planes. It is apparent from the drawing, as well as from the data Table XII, that the distribution of optical power is very uneven.
- the pertinent performance data are listed in Table XII and the constructional parameters are listed in Table I.
- Figure 2 is an optical schematic of an endoscope of extreme simplicity. Only three plastic elements on nonmeniscus shape and devoid of steep curves are needed to provide diffraction limited performance for the monochromatic aberrations. Many applications do not require a li ⁇ e-of-sight deviating prism and in such cases a pencil-shaped tip, which is often an advantageous configuration, can be readily provided, the pertinent performance data are listed in Table XII and the constructional parameters are fisted in Table II.
- Figure 3 is an optical schematic of an endoscope which is also of extreme simplicity in construction and is nevertheless highly corrected for all aberrations, including the chromatic aberrations. Although no negative element has been added to provide correction of the chromatic aberrations, the chromatic aberration is more than a factor four smaller than in the classical layout and is within the diffraction limit. This example clearly shows the gain which a redistribution of power, with the attendant shift of pupil location brings. This somewhat extreme case is achieved at the cost of a much larger size.
- Figure 4 is an optical schematic of an endoscope which consists of only two components.
- the second and third group are cemented to a rod-shaped element, thus having only four glass/air surfaces.
- rod-shaped elements can be profitably employed in the present invention.
- rod-shaped elements may alter the location of the intermediate pupil plane and focal plane, both having crossed over the second and third group.
- a shorter rod-shaped element can put the intermediate planes at the second or third element if so desired.
- the designs all have in common that no meniscus-shaped are needed. This does not, of course preclude their use, as is shown in this example. The gain, however, if modest.
- Figure 5 is an optical schematic of an endoscope which is entirely constructed of glass elements, none of which are of the meniscus shape. All curvatures are shallow and of a spherical shape only.
- the first group provides without any strain the needed space for a iine-of-sight deviation prism between the entrance pupil and the first group, even in the case of a large field of view of seventy degrees. It is important to note that, despite the fact that the first group is not color corrected in any way, the chromatic aberrations of the whole system are fully corrected by means of a single negative element only. All three groups are far removed from the intermediate focal plane and pupil plane, showing the full integration of the three groups. The pertinent performance data are listed in Table XII and the constructional parameters are listed in Table V.
- Figure 6 is an optical schematic of an endoscope which is partly constructed of glass and partly of plastic.
- Figure 8 is a highly corrected endoscope of all plastic elements with a relatively high N.A. of .025. Only one of the elements, the second element, favors a position which is close to an image or pupil plant, but is again of low optical power.
- the pertinent performance data are listed in Table XII and the constructional parameters are listed in Table VIII.
- Figure 9 is an endoscope of similar design as the one shown in Figure 8. The magnification has been increased to 2X, showing that the design remains very similar to the 1X and .OX designs, as is generally the case with endoscopes. Again, a meniscus element has been employed to show that, despite the fact that the present invention can be very well executed with nonmeniscus elements, their employment is by no means excluded.
- the fourth group the meniscus element is of negative power, again showing that the fourth element is a no ⁇ essential additional to the three group concept of the invention.
- the pertinent performance data are listed in Table XII and the constructional parameters are listed in Table IX.
- Figure 10 is an endoscope to which a second relay has been added. It has a very large field of view of eighty degrees and a relatively high N.A. of .025. Despite these large values, a deviation prism can be readily accommodated in between the objective and the entrance pupil. The total system is still very well corrected and needs only a single color correcting element of low power in order to provide full correction of the chromatic aberrations. As the first three groups are fully correctable by themselves, the addition of classical relays to those first three groups is not excluded. The pertinent performance data are listed in Table XII and the constructional parameters are listed in Table X. Figure 11 shows an endoscope with three image relays and is still very well corrected.
- Tabie XIII shows the optical powers of elements, groups, and systems in diopters. This table has been constructed from data present in Tables l-XII. Using the following well known equation for calculating the power of a single thick lens:
- ⁇ is the refractive index of the glass.
