<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical element having excellent optical transparency though having excellent heat resistance and light resistance. <P>SOLUTION: An objective lens OBJ as the optical element contains a thermosetting resin to be a polyorganosiloxane resin represented by general formula (1): ((R<SB>1</SB>)(R<SB>2</SB>)SiO<SB>2</SB>)m and fine particles and a refractive index difference ¾n1-n2¾ between the refractive index n1 of the thermosetting resin and the refractive index n2 of the fine particles is represented by 0≤¾n1-n2¾≤0.1. In general formula (1), R<SB>1</SB>and R<SB>2</SB>denote the same or different substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon groups and m denotes an integer of 50 or more. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
