ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a multiple image optics system which is usable for color images comprising an increased number of pixels and with white light sources as well, and enables high-speed operation processing, and which includes an object-side lens group 1 and an image-side lens array 2 with lens elements 21 arranged at a constant pitch interval, and satisfies a relation 0.8.ltoreq.q/p.ltoreq.1.0 where p represents an intercentral distance between any replicated input image 41 within an array of input images replicated on a back focal plane of the image-side lens array 2 and a replicated input image 42 nearest thereto, and q is a size of one replicated input image in the intercentral distance direction.
