Abstract: The illuminator device for medical examination described herein employs a housing incorporating a magnified viewing lens having a lens polarizer and an array of LEDs to provide light for the viewing organic tissue and other matter. A switch is provided to communicate with a microprocessor that controls an LED driver adapted initiate to provide modes of operation that provide certain of the LEDs being illuminated in different modes. In operation the device incorporates at least five modes of operation. A first mode provides activating only polarized white lights, a second mode provides activating only ZWB2 bandpass filtered 365 nm UV LEDs, a third mode provides activating only ZWB2 bandpass filtered 385 nm UV LEDs, a fourth mode provides activating only unfiltered 405 nm UV LEDs and a fifth mode comprises activating only ZWB2 bandpass filtered 365 nm UV LEDs and ZWB2 bandpass filtered 385 nm UV LEDs. The device additionally incorporates an auxiliary magnifier that stores in the device handle.

Abstract: The disclosure demonstrates an attachment apparatus for optically coupling a mobile device camera to a lens of a medical examination device. The device incudes an attachment body wherein the proximal side of the attachment body is attached to a mobile device via a magnetic array that may be positioned in at least two different positions. The distal side of the attachment device includes an array of magnets to connect with the lens of a medical device. In one or more of the magnetic arrays at least one pair of axially magnetized magnets are positioned in antiparallel arrangement relative to each other to reduce the expanse of a magnetic field while at the same time increasing the magnetic field strength close to the magnetic poles.

Abstract: A device for variable polarization by an illumination device for illuminating organic tissue. The device includes a first set of one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs), a first polarizer arranged to polarize light emitted from the first set of LEDs in a first polarization direction, a second set of one or more LEDs, a second polarizer arranged to polarize light emitted from the second set of LEDs in a second polarization direction. A lens is arranged to collect light from organic tissue illuminated by the first and/or second sets of LEDs including a viewing polarizer arranged to polarize the light collected from the organic tissue in the second polarization direction. A signal generator is operable to signal one or more drivers for driving one of the first and second sets according a signal value and driving the other of the first and second sets according to an inverse value thereof.

Abstract: The disclosure demonstrates an attachment apparatus for optically coupling a mobile device camera to a lens of a medical examination device. The device includes an attachment body wherein the proximal side of the attachment body is attached to a mobile device directly or through a mobile device case. The distal side of the attachment device includes an array of magnets positioned radially around an aperture to align with the eye lens of a medical device wherein at least one pair of axially magnetized magnets of the array are positioned in antiparallel arrangement relative to each other It is understood that axially magnetized magnets positioned in antiparallel relation reduce the expanse of a magnetic field while at the same time increasing the magnetic field strength close to the magnetic poles.

Abstract: The disclosure demonstrates a multipurpose illuminator used in medical examinations. The multipurpose illuminator described herein employs a housing incorporating two magnification viewing lenses each having different powered magnification that allows medical practitioners to view patient tissue and structures using two different magnifications. A battery power source is also contained in the housing to provide power to an illumination source. The illumination source may include an array of LEDs to provide light for viewing the patient tissue and matter. The illumination source and the lenses may be cross polarized relative to each other to provide enhanced viewing of the patient tissues and structures. A switch is provided to initiate the LED illumination source or to provide modes of operation that provide certain of the LEDs being illuminated.

Abstract: An illumination device used in dermoscopy for enhanced imaging and illumination of the skin for medical examination and treatment. An array of LEDs encircle a magnifying lens assembly. One set of surrounding LEDs provides cross-polarized white light to aid in canceling the reflected light from the skin and creating less glare. Another set of surrounding LEDs provides non-polarized white light for traditional immersion fluid dermoscopy or for non-polarized viewing of the skin. A third set of surrounding LEDs provides polarized colored light, wherein the wavelength color is selected at a color wavelength that maximizes the viewing of skin pigment regions which is important for early detection of skin cancers and other skin diseases. In one embodiment, the colored LEDs comprise orange light at a wavelength in the range of 581 nm to 600 nm wavelengths.
