An optical scanning device for scanning an information layer (104) of
an
optical record carrier (102) includes a radiation source (110) for
generating a radiation beam (108) and a high-NA objective system (118)
for converging the radiation beam on the information layer. The objective system
includes a first lens (116) and a second lens (117). The first lens
includes a glass body and the second lens is made of plastic. The signs of the
temperature-dependences of the spherical aberration of the first and second lens
are different, thereby reducing the temperature-dependence of the spherical aberration
of the objective system as a whole.
