  • Patent number: 10441166
    Abstract: An apparatus for non-contact examination of an eye comprises for illuminating and imaging the eye: an apparatus objective of a positive optical power and a positive spherical aberration which illuminates and images an angle wider than a cross section of the zone I of the retinal vasculature, the apparatus objective being common to the imaging and the illumination the optical paths of which are deviated from each other in the examination apparatus; and a secondary lens unit, which is located behind the apparatus objective in the optical path in a direction of the imaging, modifies at least one of the following optical features: lateral color aberration, astigmatism, field curvature and coma caused by the apparatus objective, and focuses the imaging radiation modified by the secondary lens unit on an image sensor for forming an image of a retina of the eye.

  • Patent number: 9033507
    Abstract: Light from an exit pupil of an illumination unit is directed to a beam splitter which directs the light to an objective. The retina is illuminated, if a real image of the exit pupil of the illumination unit and a real image of an entrance pupil of a camera unit are formable in a position ranging from the cornea to the backside of the crystalline lens with the light. The objective forms a real intermediate image of the retina between the objective and the camera unit. The beam splitter directs the light from the retina to the camera unit, while causing the path of the illumination and the path of the imaging to deviate for non-overlapping images of the exit pupil and the entrance pupil in the crystalline lens. A relay lens system forms a real image of the intermediate image on a detecting component with the light reflected from the retina for transforming the image into an electric form to be shown on a screen.

    Abstract: Light from an exit pupil (112) of an illumination unit (100) is directed to a beam splitter (102) which directs the light to an objective (104). The retina (128) is illuminated, if a real image of the exit pupil (112) of the illumination unit (100) and a real image of an entrance pupil (114) of a camera unit (106) are formable in a position ranging from the cornea (120) to the backside (126) of the crystalline lens (124) with the light. The objective (104) forms a real intermediate image (130) of the retina (128) between the objective (104) and the camera unit (106). The beam splitter (102) directs the light from the retina (128) to the camera unit (106), while causing the path (134) of the illumination and the path (132) of the imaging to deviate for non-overlapping images of the exit pupil (112) and the entrance pupil (114) in the crystalline lens (124).

  • Publication number: 20120188356
    Abstract: A hand-held examination device for imaging the eye (106) comprises a user interface (108), infrared source (150) and visible light source (152). The infrared source (150) illuminates the eye (106) with infrared radiation, the examination device forms an image of the eye (106) while illuminated by infrared radiation, and the display shows the eye (106) illuminated by infrared radiation. The user interface (108) receives from the user a signal for generating an image. The visible light source (152) is switched on in a predefined manner in response to the received user signal for generating the image. The examination device generates at least one image of the eye (106) by using visible light in response to the received user signal for generating the image.

  • Publication number: 20120130252
    Abstract: An optical component is connectable to a camera unit and comprises a data structure including data associated with the optical component. When the optical component is connected to the camera unit, data associated with the optical component is transferred to the camera unit. Image production of an organ by the camera unit is controlled based on the data associated with the optical component.

  • Patent number: 8078667
    Abstract: A system for data transfer comprises a server of a patient data system and an auxiliary server, which has installation data associated with at least one accepted device identifier available. The auxiliary server receives the identifier determining an examination device and transmits the installation data associated with the examination device identifier to the server of the patient data system. The server of the patient data system installs the identifier determining the examination device automatically on the basis of the installation data on the server of the patient data system for data transfer. Data is transferred between the examination device and the server of the patient data system after the identifier has been installed.
