Abstract
A user-wearable examination/visualization/collection system with light enhancement comprising a carrier suitable for the retention of a lighting assembly and a viewing and collection system is presented wherein images or video of objects may be collected under natural (e.g., white) light and/or non-visible light (e.g., IR, UV) conditions, processed and presented to a user on a local display. Further disclosed are lighting assemblies that provide for the light necessary to collect images different lighting conditions and optical filtering that allows for a limitation of the light viewable and collected.
Claims19
An examination/visualization system comprising:
- an eyewear comprising:
- a first lens;
- and
- a second lens, joined by a bridge element;
- a visualization system associated with at least one of the first lens and the second lens, the visualization system comprising:
- a viewing/collection system comprising:
- a magnification device configured to:
- magnify, by a known level of magnification, an image of an object, the magnification device comprising:
- an objective lens;
- and
- an eye-lens, the objective lens and the eye-lens forming a first optical axis;
- and
- an image capture assembly comprising:
- a second eye-lens, wherein the second eye-lens forms a second optical axis substantially orthogonal to the first optical axis;
- a light director positioned between the objective lens and the eye-lens, the light director configured to:
- direct a first portion of light, associated with the object, entering the objective lens along the first optical axis to the eye-lens;
- and
- reflect a second portion of the light along the second optical axis to the second eye-lens;
- and a second light director configured to:
- receive the second portion of the light along the second axis;
- and
- direct a known portion of the second portion of the light along the second optical axis toward a first image capture device, the first image capture device configured to:
- capture an image in a first wavelength range;
- and
- reflect a second known amount of the second portion of light directed along the second optical axis along a third optical axis toward a second image capture device, the second image capture device being configured to:
- capture the image in a second wavelength range.
23 more elements
A visualization system comprising:
- a lighting assembly configured to:
- emit light in at least one wavelength range;
- a viewing device configured to:
- view an enlarged image of an object located a known distance from the viewing device;
- and
- record images of object in at least one wavelength range, the viewing device comprising:
- a magnification section providing a known level of magnification, the magnification section comprising:
- an objective lens;
- and
- an eye-lens, the objective lens and eye-lens forming a first optical axis, and;
- an offset section comprising:
- a second eye-lens, the second eye-lens forming a second optical axis offset from the first optical axis;
- and
- a first light director positioned at an intersection of the first axis and the second axis, the first light director comprising:
- a partially reflective/partially transmissive surface, wherein the partially reflective/partially transmissive surface is configured to:
- receive light associated with the object viewed through the objective lens;
- and
- transmit a first portion of the received light toward the first eye-lens;
- and
- reflect a remaining portion of the received light toward the second eye-lens;
- and
- a second light director positioned within the offset section, the second light director comprising:
- a second partially reflective/partially transmission surface, wherein the second partially reflective/partially transmission surface is configured to:
- transmit a first portion of the remaining portion of the received light along the second optical axis toward a first image capture device;
- and
- reflect a remaining portion of the remaining light along a third optical axis toward a second image capture device;
- a processing section configured to:
- receive images provided by the first image capture device and the second image capture device;
- and
- provide the received images to a display system, wherein the display system is configured to:
- display the received images on a display screen.
