Abstract
An ocular lens includes from an object side: a first lens group having negative refracting power, and a second lens group having positive refracting power. An object-side focal plane of the second lens group is positioned between the first lens group and the second lens group. The first lens group includes, from the object side: a meniscus first A lens component whose convex surface is directed toward the object side, and a first B lens component having negative refracting power. The second lens group includes, in a position closest to the object side, a meniscus second A lens component whose concave surface is directed toward the object side, and satisfies conditional expressions.

An ocular lens comprising:
- from an object side in this order,
- a first lens group having negative refracting power;
- and
- a second lens group having positive refracting power, wherein:
- an object-side focal plane of the second lens group is positioned between the first lens group and the second lens group;
- the first lens group includes, from the object side in this order,
- a meniscus first A lens component whose convex surface is directed toward the object side, and
- a first B lens component having negative refracting power;
- the second lens group includes, in a position closest to the object side, a meniscus second A lens component whose concave surface is directed toward the object side;
- and
- satisfies the condition of the following expressions:
- 1.8≤(−f1)/f≤6.0
- 0.5≤D/f≤2.0
- where
- f is an entire focal length of the ocular lens,
- f1 is a focal length of the first lens group, and
- D is an air space between the first lens group and the second lens group, and
- wherein
- the ocular lens satisfies the condition of the following expression:
- 0.5≤G1Arf/f≤2.0
- where
- G1Arf is a radius of curvature of a lens surface closest to the object side of the first A lens component.
