摘要： A relay lens system for an endoscope is provided and includes three axially aligned cylindrical lens pairs, each lens pair having two substantially rod-like lenses. Each rod-like lens includes a convexo-concave polymeric aspheric lens and a concavo-convex polymeric aspheric lens which are symmetrically placed and affixed about a glass rod with flat ends by means of plano-convex optical cement lens elements. The optical cement lens elements form lens-like elements which contribute to both the color and geometric aberration correction of the lens system. When inserted as a component of an endoscope or laparoscope, the distal end of the relay lens system is axially aligned with an objective lens and the proximal end is axially aligned with a viewing eyepiece. The image formed at the distal end of the endoscope by the objective lens is transmitted by the relay lens system, which inverts once and refocuses twice before forming a final upright image in front of the eyepiece for viewing or recording.

摘要： Radial gradient index of refraction (GRIN) optical relays are described for overcorrecting axial chromatic aberration. In particular, a relay including a negative dispersion radial GRIN rod alone or in combination with simple homogeneous or GRIN lenses is described for adjusting axial chromatic and monochromatic aberrations, including spherical, coma, astigmatism, and distortion. The invention also describes remote viewing scopes, such as endoscopes and borescopes, which utilize GRIN relays for achromatic, and reduced or corrected monochromatic aberration imaging The use of segmented GRIN relays provides a degree of flexibility in remote viewing scopes.

The wall portions of the barrel extending between the ends of adjacent lenses are provided with openings to allow precise positioning of the lenses during assembly and to provide zones of preferential flexure of the barrel when the entire assembly is flexed in normal use. In one embodiment, the cylindrical lenses are fixed in place by clamping forces exerted by the normally non-cylindrical walls of the barrel. The method for making such an assembly, including the steps of inserting, adjusting, securing, and cleaning the lenses, is also disclosed.
