Abstract

An objective lens system includes a first lens and a second lens. The first lens has a first surface for allowing entry of light and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The second lens has a spherical third surface and a flat fourth surface opposite to the third surface. The third surface faces the second surface and has a radius of curvature r0. The second lens has a thickness d0 and a refractive index n0. The thickness n0, the radius of curvature r0 and the refractive index n0 satisfy a relation: d0>r0>n0d0.
