PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image reading lens ensuring good image formation performance always even if warpage of a line sensor is varied due to environmental variation such as temperature variation, and to provide an image reader employing it. SOLUTION: The image reading lens 100 comprises image formation lenses 101-104 for forming a shrunk image of the image information of a document surface 200 on a line sensor 300, a member 105 for holding the image formation lenses as a plurality of lens groups, and means 107, 108 and 110 for adjusting the air interval between at least one set of image formation lenses depending on the temperature variation. The adjusting means is provided between the image formation lenses to maintain a predetermined air interval by expanding/contracting according to temperature variation. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
