Abstract
Abstract An achromatic objective lens comprises three to five components, of which at least two are positive and at least one is negative. At least one of the positive components is formed of fluophosphate crown glass or phosphate crown glass. At least one of the other positive components is formed of barium flint glass. At least one of the negative components is formed of lanthanum glass or antimony flint glass.
