Abstract

An objective of some 10 magnifications usable with microscopes, etc. which has an increased numerical aperture and working distance, including a first lens component that is a cemented lens consisting of negative and positive lens elements, a second lens component a third lens component, a fourth lens component consisting of a cemented lens and a fifth lens component having a positive refractive power, characterized by satisfying the following conditions: EQU .nu..sub.I2 -.nu..sub.I1 >20 (1) EQU n.sub.I1 -n.sub.I2 >0.2 (2) wherein: PA0 n.sub.I1 is the refractive index of d-line of the negative lens element of the first component, PA0 .nu..sub.I1 is the Abbe's number of said negative lens element of the first lens component, PA0 n.sub.I2 is the refractive index for d-line of the positive lens element of the first lens component, and PA0 .nu..sub.I2 is the Abbe's number of said positive lens element of the first lens component.
