Abstract

The present invention allows one to take an intermediate image formed by a microscope objective lens system and reform a clear image of it, at relatively low magnification, on a film surface. The present invention provides for a lens system which comprises, in order, from the observed object end, a first lens group having a convex surface facing toward the objective lens system end, and having positive refractive power, a second lens group, positioned to the rear of the intermediate image, and having negative refractive power, and a third lens group having positive refractive power. The lenses in the system are set to follow predetermined parameters.
