DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a relay optical system used for picking up an image formed by an objective lens with an electronic camera or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As means for recording an image formed by an objective lens of a microscope, there is a method using a silver halide camera and a method using a television camera. Of these, when photographed with a silver halide camera, the specimen image was recorded on film.

On the other hand, an imaging method using a television camera is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 6-331903. In this case, an eyepiece observation lens barrel, an adapter, an attachment for a television camera, and a television camera connection mirror comprising an imaging section of the television camera. A tube is shown. Although the image sensor is not specifically described, for example, a solid-state image sensor (CCD) is used.

Conventionally, the number of pixels of a solid-state imaging device is roughly determined according to the number of scanning lines of a television monitor. For example, in the case of a standard system (NTSC), for example, 512 × 512
Pixels or 640 × 512 pixels, for example, 1024 × 768 pixels for high definition.

[0005]

As described above, in conventional photography, a sample image is recorded on a film, but in recent years, a solid-state image sensor has been used instead of a film as a recording medium. Digital cameras have appeared and started to spread. The feature of this digital camera is that the number of pixels is large compared to the area of the solid-state imaging device. In the early days, the number of pixels was 1/3 inch and the number was hundreds of thousands of pixels.
100-2 in inch size or 1/2 inch size
It has more than one million pixels or more.

However, in a digital camera, a photographing lens is fixed to a camera body, and an entrance pupil position exists in the photographing lens or in the digital camera body. Therefore, when attempting to use the microscope in combination with a microscope to capture a specimen image, the digital camera body must be moved to the microscope in order to match the exit pupil position of the microscope (or a position conjugate to the exit pupil position) with the entrance pupil position of the digital camera. It must be located close to the lens barrel. As a result, there arises a problem that the microscope and the digital camera cause structural interference. It should be noted that Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos.
JP-A-54258, JP-A-9-133875 and JP-A-10-39235 disclose an optical system for observing an image (intermediate image) formed by an objective lens. It is difficult to use as a relay optical system for an imaging device because it is assumed that the image is observed with the eyes of the subject.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a relay optical system which allows a microscope to be mounted on an image pickup apparatus without causing structural interference between the microscope and the image pickup apparatus when a sample image is taken by the image pickup apparatus.

To hereinafter PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS will be described with reference to embodiments shown an embodiment of the present invention. Each embodiment includes a first group having a negative refractive power and a second group having a positive refractive power, which are arranged on the emission side in order from the intermediate imaging position. In the first configuration, the first group having a negative refractive power is composed of a cemented lens, and the second group having a positive refractive power is 2
Consists of a single positive lens. In the second configuration, the first group having a negative refractive power includes a negative meniscus lens having a convex surface facing the intermediate imaging position, and the second group having a positive refractive power.
The group consists of a cemented lens and a positive lens. In the third configuration, the first group having a negative refractive power includes a biconcave lens, and the second group having a positive refractive power includes a cemented lens and a positive lens. Here, in the first to third invention, the first configuration to the third configuration, not satisfy the following conditions (1)
You. 0.3 ≦ L / f ≦ 1.14 (1) where L is the total length of the relay optical system, and is the distance from the lens surface on which light first enters to the lens surface on which it exits last, and f is the focal point Distance.

In the condition (1), when the value of L / f is smaller than the lower limit of 0.3, the number of lenses is reduced, and it is difficult to satisfactorily correct the aberration of the relay optical system. Further, when the value exceeds the upper limit of 1.14 , it is difficult to secure a necessary distance to the exit pupil position. Therefore, it is more desirable to satisfy the following condition (1 ′). 0.40 ≦ L / f ≦ 1.14 (1 ′) Further, in the fourth to sixth inventions, in the first configuration,
The second group having positive refractive power is composed of two positive single lenses.
And has a positive refractive power in the second and third configurations.
The second group is arranged in order from the intermediate imaging position to the emission side.
Consists of one cemented lens and one positive lens, and a first configuration to a third configuration, which satisfies the following condition (2) to (4). −12 ≦ f1 / f ≦ −0.5 (2) 0.45 ≦ f2 / f ≦ 1.5 (3) 0.9 ≦ d _EXP /f≦1.5 (4) where f is the relay optical Focal length of the system, f1 is the focal length of the first group, f2 is the focal length of the second group, d _EXP
Is the distance from the last lens surface of the second group to the exit pupil position.

In the condition (2), if the value of f1 / f becomes smaller than the lower limit of −12, the refractive power of the first lens unit becomes weak, the Petzval sum cannot be reduced, and the field curvature cannot be sufficiently reduced. Cannot be corrected. If the value exceeds the upper limit of -0.5, the refractive power of the first lens unit increases, making it difficult to satisfactorily correct the aberration of the entire relay optical system. Becomes large.

In condition (3), when the value of f2 / f is smaller than the lower limit of 0.45, the refractive power of the second lens unit increases, and accordingly, the refractive power of the first lens unit also increases. In this case, since the amount of aberration generated in each of the first and second units increases, spherical aberration and curvature of field cannot be canceled out in the first and second units, and it becomes difficult to perform well-balanced aberration correction. . Also, if the value exceeds the upper limit of 1.5, the second
The refractive power of the group becomes weaker, and accordingly, the refractive power of the first group becomes weaker. As a result, the negative refractive power is insufficient, and it becomes difficult to effectively correct the field curvature.

In the condition (4), if the value of d _EXP / f becomes smaller than the lower limit of 0.9 or becomes larger than the upper limit of 1.5, the d _EXP / f may be used in combination with a microscope. In addition, it is difficult to dispose the imaging device at an appropriate position with good balance. Note that d _EXP is a value when the entrance pupil position of the relay optical system is at approximately infinity.

FIG. 1 shows a microscope using the relay optical system of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a microscope main body, 2 is an observation lens barrel, 3 is a relay optical system, 4 is a first holding member for holding the relay optical system 3, 5 is a second holding member, and 6 is a digital camera (electronic camera). Imaging camera). Reference numeral 11 denotes a revolver, 12 denotes an objective lens, and 13 denotes a stage on which the sample S is mounted.

The observation lens barrel 2 has its lower part installed on the upper surface of the lens body 1, and an observation optical path 2 A for observing an image of the sample S with the eye and an image pickup lens for photographing with the digital camera 6. Has an imaging optical path 2B. An eyepiece 9 is arranged on the observation optical path 2A of the observation lens barrel 2, so that observation by the observer's eyes is possible. Observation optical path 2A and photographing optical path 2B
Is switched by operating a switching lever (not shown) and inserting and removing the prism 10 in and out of the optical path. Also, I is an intermediate image of the specimen, which is formed outside the observation lens barrel 2.

A first holding member 4 is provided on the upper part of the observation lens barrel 2, and the first holding member 4 is connected to the observation lens barrel 2 via its lower end 4A. The first holding member 4 has a cylindrical shape, and the relay optical system 3 is disposed inside the first holding member 4.

The relay optical system 3 is disposed near the upper end 4B of the first holding member 4 so that the sample image I is focused on its front focal position,
Alternatively, it is held inside the first holding member 4 so as to coincide with the vicinity thereof. Accordingly, light from each point of the sample image I is converted into a parallel light beam or a substantially parallel light beam by the relay optical system 3 and enters the digital camera 6. Further, the exit pupil of the microscope (or a conjugate point thereof) and the entrance pupil of the digital camera 6 coincide with each other by the relay optical system 3.

A second holding member 5 is provided above the first holding member 4.
Is installed, and the upper end 4B of the first holding member 4 and the lower end 5A of the second holding member 5 are connected. The second holding member 5 is
It has a cylindrical shape like the holding member 4 of 1, but has no lens inside and is hollow.

A digital camera is provided above the second holding member 5.
6 is connected. Shooting lens 6A of digital camera 6
An adapter 7 for connecting to the second holding member 5 is provided on an outer peripheral portion of the second holding member 5.
Is connected to the upper end 5B. Note that the digital camera 6 may be directly connected to the second holding member 5 if structurally possible.

The connection of each member such as the connection between the main body 1 and the observation lens barrel 2 and the connection between the second holding member 5 and the adapter 7 is conventionally used such as a screw mechanism or a round dovetail mechanism. A mechanism is appropriately selected and used.

The relay optical system 3 satisfies the following condition (5)
Are satisfied. 30 mm ≦ D ≦ 90 mm (5) Here, D is the distance from the lens surface of the relay optical system 3 closest to the digital camera 6 to the entrance pupil position 8 of the digital camera 6.

When the distance D is smaller than the lower limit of 30 mm, the distance between the observation lens barrel 2 and the digital camera 6 becomes short, and a structural stroll occurs. In addition, when a digital camera having a photographing lens with a long focal length is connected, the entrance pupil of such a digital camera is located near the image pickup device, so that there is a problem that light rays of a peripheral image are shaded. .

On the other hand, when the distance D exceeds the upper limit of 90 mm, the distance from the observation lens barrel 2 to the digital camera 6 is too large, so that the stability is deteriorated and a sharp sample image cannot be photographed. In addition, it is difficult to increase the magnification of the relay optical system 3, and it is not possible to take an image up to the angle of view that the photographing lens 6A of the digital camera 6 originally has without being blurred. Occurs.

Since the relay optical system 3 according to the present invention satisfies the above condition (5), the digital camera 6 and the observation lens barrel 2 can be separated without deteriorating the stability. Therefore, it is possible to capture a stable sample image without causing structural interference. Further, since the optical system optically matches the optical characteristics of the photographing lens 6A of the digital camera, it is possible to obtain a good sample image without shading over the entire photographing range.

The relay optical system 3 satisfies the following condition (6):
Is preferably satisfied. 60mm ≦ D ≦ 80mm (6)
