Abstract
A medical illumination system is provided for modulating properties of light emitted by a light source of the illumination system based on properties of a spot size defining an area illuminated by the emitted light.
Claims16
A medical illuminating system for illuminating a work area, the system comprising:
- a light source configured to emit light and including optical components configured to modulate properties of a spot size of the emitted light;
- a mount configured to mechanically support and maintain a position of the light source;
- processor circuitry configured to modulate properties of the spot size defining an area illuminated by the emitted light, by controlling the optical components;
- and
- a distance sensor configured to measure the working distance
- wherein:
- the processor circuitry is further configured to compensate for a working distance of the light source by maintaining an area of the spot size, a brightness of the spot size, and a position of the spot size by modulating the properties of the spot size by controlling the optical components such that the properties of the spot size are independent of the measured working distance.
