Abstract
A negative lens, for an oblique-view endoscope objective, has a first face with a first optical surface and a second face with a second optical surface opposing the first optical surface, the second optical surface being a concave optical surface, wherein a recess is formed in the second face adjacent to the concave optical surface. An endoscope objective, that includes a deflection prism having an entrance face and further including a negative lens, the negative lens having a first face with a first optical surface and a second face with a second optical surface opposing the first optical surface, the second optical surface being a concave optical surface. The negative lens is mounted on a distal planar surface of the deflection prism such that a rim encompassing the concave optical surface abuts the distal planar surface of the deflection prism.
