Abstract

Abstract A lens system for micro film which provides high resolution over a wide range with an ultraviolet ray, and has transmittance sufficient for said ray and a long working distance on the image side. Said lens system comprises a first negative cemented doublet component, a second positive lens component, a third positive lens component, a fourth positive lens component, a fifth positive lens component, a sixth negative cemented doublet component, a seventh negative meniscus lens component, an eighth cemented meniscus lens component and a ninth positive meniscus lens component.
