<p>An optical scanning device can scan two types of record carriers each having a transparent layer with a different thickness, in which a focused radiation beam scans an information layer of the record carrier through the transparent layer. When scanning a first type of record carrier the best focus of the radiation beam is positioned on the information layer and when scanning a second type of record carrier the paraxial focus of the radiation beam is positioned on the information layer. The lens system focusing the radiation beam comprises an opaque ring between a transparent central area and a transparent annular area.</p> |
