- the shapes of the optical surface molding surfaces 52a, S2 and the molding surfaces 51a, 62a, S3 on the tip side of the mirror cores 52, 62 shown in FIG. 1 and the like are merely examples, and are appropriately determined according to the use of the objective lens OL. Can be changed.
- cross-sectional shape, arrangement, the number of components, and the like of the protruding pins 54 described in the above embodiment are merely examples, and can be changed as appropriate.
