| 20090059335 | Holding mechanism for long length optical element, optical scanning device, and image forming device - A holding mechanism for a long length optical element, which extends in a main scanning direction that is a movement direction of a deflected luminous flux by an optical deflector, and leads the deflected luminous flux to a scanned surface, includes; a holding member which is placed in a sub-scanning direction orthogonal to the main scanning direction and holds the long length optical element in at least two places. The holding member has, an adjusting section which deflects the long length optical element in the sub-scanning direction and controls a tilt of the long length optical element in a sub-scanning cross-section and/or occurrences of a tilt distribution in a longitudinal direction in the sub-scanning cross-section. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090073572 | ZOOM LENS AND IMAGING APPARATUS - A zoom lens includes, in order along an optical axis from a side nearest to a photographic subject to an imaging site, a first lens group I that comprises a positive refraction index and is anchored in place when performing a magnification of an image, a second lens group II that comprises a negative refraction index, a third lens group III that comprises a positive refraction index, a fourth lens group IV that comprises a positive refraction index, a fifth lens group V that comprises a negative refraction index, and a sixth lens group VI that comprises a positive refraction index, wherein, when magnifying from a wide angle end to a telephoto end, the magnification thereof is performed by moving the second lens group II, the fourth lens group IV, and the fifth lens group V, at a minimum, the first lens group I comprises a reflective optical element, which is for refracting a light path therein, an additional lens group VII, comprising a negative refraction index, is interposed between the lens groups of the zoom lens as an additional lens group thereof, at a minimum, and a magnification to a long focal distance that is even longer than the telephoto end is performed thereby. | 03-19-2009 |
