<p>There is disclosed an optical system adapted for use in an image taking device. The optical system comprises an optical element having an entrance surface, a curved internal reflective surface and an exit surface on the surface of a transparent member composed for example glass, in which the light beam from an object is refracted at the entrance surface, thus being incident on the interior of the optical element, then is internally reflected by the reflective surface and refracted at the exit surface, thus emerging from the optical element and focusing on an imaging plane. The internal reflective surface is an off-axis reflective surface, and the entrance surface, the internal reflective surface or surfaces and the exit surface are so designed as to cancel the chromatic aberration generated at the refractive surfaces, while satisfactorily correcting other optical aberrations. <IMAGE></p> |
