Abstract
A microscopic eyewear system and method. The microscopic eyewear system utilizes at least one lens to magnify the specimen and form an enhanced magnified specimen image. The lens automatically adjusts its distance relative to the specimen by extending and retracting relative to the eyes, such that light from the specimen is captured and focused. An adjustment mechanism, such as a gear worm, extends and retracts the lens. A sensor detects the specimen and focuses the light. A microprocessor operatively connects to the sensor, and controls operation of the adjustment mechanism.
Claims16
A microscopic eyewear to adjustably magnify a specimen, said microscopic eyewear comprising:
- at least one lens configured to magnify a specimen;
- a wearable frame disposed to receive with said at least one lens, said wearable frame further having a sensor configured to detect and focus on said specimen;
- said wearable frame having at least a pair of temples configured to fit around a user's ears to retain said wearable frame in front of the user's eyes;
- said pair of temples hingedly attached to said lens frame, said pair of temples having an adjustment device configured to extend and retract said lens frame relative to said specimen for enhancing said magnification of said specimen, said pair of temples further having a counterweight configured to help balance said microscopic eyewear while extended;
- and
- a processor operatively connected to said sensor, said processor configured to control said adjustment device.
A method comprising:
- providing at least one lens configured to magnify a specimen;
- providing a wearable frame disposed to receive with said at least one lens, said wearable frame further having a sensor configured to detect and focus on said specimen;
- said wearable frame having at least a pair of temples configured to fit around a user's ears to retain said wearable frame in front of the user's eyes;
- said pair of temples hingedly attached to said lens frame, said pair of temples having an adjustment device configured to extend and retract said lens frame relative to said specimen for enhancing said magnification of said specimen, said pair of temples further having a counterweight configured to help balance said microscopic eyewear while extended;
- and
- providing a processor operatively connected to said sensor, said processor configured to control said adjustment device.
