Abstract

An adapter optical system, which is an optical system configured to guide reflection light reflected by an object and passing through an imaging lens to a liquid resonant lens, includes: a first lens unit removably disposed at a position where the reflection light passing through the imaging lens enters and constituting an image-side telecentric optical system; and a second lens unit disposed at a position where the reflection light passing through the first lens unit enters and constituting a finite correction optical system in combination with the liquid resonant lens.

Claims (10)

1. An adapter optical system configured to guide reflection light reflected by an object and passing through an imaging lens to a predetermined optical component, the adapter optical system comprising:

a first lens unit removably disposed at a position where the reflection light passing through the imaging lens enters; and

a second lens unit disposed at a position where the reflection light passing through the imaging lens and the first lens unit enters and constituting a finite correction optical system or an infinity correction optical system in combination with the optical component,

wherein the first lens unit constitutes an image-side telecentric optical system in a region between the image-side of the first lens unit and the second lens unit.

2. The adapter optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the second lens unit constitutes a separate object-side telecentric optical system.

3. A focal length variable optical system where reflection light reflected by an object and passing through an imaging lens enters, the focal length variable optical system comprising:

a liquid resonant focal length variable lens;

a first lens unit removably disposed at a position where the reflection light passing through the imaging lens enters; and

a second lens unit disposed at a position where the reflection light passing through the imaging lens and the first lens unit enters and constituting a finite correction optical system or an infinity correction optical system in combination with the focal length variable lens,

wherein the first lens unit constitutes an image-side telecentric optical system in a region between the image-side of the first lens unit and the second lens unit.
