ABSTRACT:
An observation or measurement device has, at least, an infinity-corrected objective lens and an imaging lens, and satisfies a condition, 4.56≦D·NA′≦30 (mm), where D is the parfocal distance of the objective lens and NA′ is the numerical aperture of the imaging lens. It is desirable to make a distance from the mount position of the objective lens to the most object-side surface of the imaging lens variable and to satisfy a condition, 0.5 FL<W<1.2 FL (mm), where W is the variable amount of the distance from the mount position of the objective lens to the most object-side surface of the imaging lens, and FL is the focal length of the imaging lens. It is more desirable to satisfy conditions, 0.4<D/FL<5 and 1≦D/φd<3, where φd is the outside diameter of a connection at the mount of the objective lens.
