The value of F.sub.1/F in the relation (1) is greater than −0.558, which allows sufficient correction of the system aberration and achieves a high-quality optical effect, and the value is less than 1.822, thereby improving the machinability of optical elements in the system. The value of F.sub.t/F in the relation (2) is greater than 2.265, which improves the machinability of the optical elements in the system, and the value is less than 3.493, which allows full correction of the system aberration, thereby achieving a better optical effect.

[0054] A value of μ+n may be 80%, 85%, 88.5%, 89.1%, 91.2%, 99%, 100%, and the like.

[0055] In a further embodiment, an included angle between the optical axes of the main optical path and the auxiliary optical path is set to θ, and θ satisfies the following relation (6):

Θ<180°  (6).

[0056] In a further embodiment, an optical surface of the first lens away from the side of the micro image display is concave towards a direction of the micro image display, and the optical surface is an even-order aspherical face shape.

[0057] In a further embodiment, the fourth lens is a negative lens; and the fifth lens and the sixth lens are positive lenses.

[0058] In a further embodiment, an optical surface of the second lens near the side of the micro image display is concave towards the direction of the micro image display, and the optical surface is a spherical face shape.

[0059] The aberrations such as astigmatism and field curvature of the system are further alleviated, which is conducive to achieving a high-resolution optical effect with a uniform image quality throughout the eyepiece system.

[0060] In a further embodiment, substrate materials of the spectroscope, the main optical path, and the lenses in the auxiliary optical path are all optical glass materials.

[0061] Therefore, the aberrations at various levels of the optical eyepiece system are fully corrected, and the manufacturing cost of optical elements and the weight of the optical system are further controlled.

[0062] In a further embodiment, a calculation formula of the aspherical face shape is:

[00002]$z=\frac{{\mathrm{cr}}^2}{1+\sqrt{1-\left(1+k\right)c^2{r}^2}}+{\alpha }_2{r}^2+{\alpha }_4{r}^4+{\alpha }_6{r}^6+.Math.;$

[0064] The aberrations (including spherical aberration, coma, distortion, field curvature, astigmatism, chromatic aberration and other higher-order aberrations) of the optical system are fully corrected, which is beneficial for the optical eyepiece system to further improve the image quality of the central field-of-view and the edge field-of-view, reduce the image quality difference between the central field-of-view and the edge field-of-view and thus to achieve more uniform image quality and low distortion in the full frame while realizing a large angle of view and a large aperture.

[0065] The principle, solution, and display results of the optical eyepiece system mentioned above will be further elaborated below through more specific examples.

[0066] In the following examples, as shown in FIG. 1, an image surface 103, an auxiliary optical path T, a spectroscope 101, and a main optical path A which are sequentially connected are included. An optical axis of the image surface 103 coincides with an optical axis of the auxiliary optical path T; an optical axis of the main optical path A is perpendicular to the optical axis of the auxiliary optical path T; and the optical axis of the main optical path A is reflected by the spectroscope 101 and is superimposed with the auxiliary optical path T transmitted by the spectroscope 101. The main optical path A includes a first lens 106, a second lens 105, and a third lens 104 which are arranged sequentially from the spectroscope 101 to the micro image display 102 in an optical axis direction. The first lens 106 is a positive lens; the second lens 105 is a negative lens; and the third lens 104 is a positive lens. The auxiliary optical path T includes a fourth lens 109, a fifth lens 108, and a sixth lens 107 which are arranged sequentially from the image surface 103 to the spectroscope 101 in the optical axis direction. The image surface 103 may serve as an exit pupil for imaging in the optical eyepiece system, and is a virtual exit aperture capable of observing an optimal imaging result. Light emitted from the micro image display 102 passes through the third lens 104, the second lens 105, and the first lens 106 sequentially, and then is reflected by the spectroscope 101. The light emitted by an object shape observation and photographing apparatus 110 is transmitted by the spectroscope 101, superimposed with the light of the micro image display 102 reflected by the spectroscope 101, and then passes through the sixth lens 107, the fifth lens 108, and the fourth lens 109 sequentially to reach the image surface 103.

[0082] Preferably, the object shape observation and photographing apparatus includes but is not limited to a microscope or a telescope.

[0083] The head-mounted display device employs an optical eyepiece system capable of superimposing optical paths, the system superimposes imaging light in a semi-transparent and semi-reflective manner, the optical axis of the main optical path is reflected by the spectroscope and then superimposed with the optical axis of the auxiliary optical path projected by the spectroscope, an image displayed by the micro image display and a physical object image captured by an object shape observation and photographing apparatus are displayed in a superimposing mode, and effects of high definition and high coincidence are achieved through a positive, negative, and positive lens combination and the feature relationships among optical components, thereby achieving the characteristics of being clearer in imaging, small in distortion, and high in imaging quality, so that the imaging of the micro image display and the imaging and superimposing of dual optical paths are more perfectly realistic.

[0084] In specific practical applications, the user explains, analyzes, and processes images of the optical instrument through multiple imaging superimposing and displaying, so that people who are not proficient in the optical instrument can also better operate and make judgments.
