  • Patent number: 11686930
    Abstract: A scanning microscope includes an objective arranged in an illuminating beam path and configured to focus an illuminating light bundle onto a sample. A scanning unit is arranged upstream of the objective in the illuminating beam path and configured to deflect the illuminating light bundle in such a way that the illuminating light bundle focused by the objective executes a scanning movement. A detection unit is arranged in a detection beam path and configured to receive a detection light bundle not deflected by the scanning unit. For spectral influencing of the detection light bundle, the detection unit contains a spectrally selective component which has an active surface with a spectral edge which varies with a location of incidence of the detection light bundle on the active surface. The active surface is arranged in the detection beam path at a location of the image of the objective pupil.

  • Patent number: 11681161
    Abstract: Spectacles that control myopia progression have a central zone that achieves foveal vision correction and distributed micro-reticle(s) and corresponding micro-lens(es) around the paracentral and/or peripheral zone of the spectacle. Each micro-lens is disposed between its corresponding micro-reticle and the pupil of a wearer's eye. The micro-reticle(s) and micro-lens(es) are integrated with the structure of the spectacle to partially block some of the paracentral and/or peripheral objects from surrounding optical environment. The rest of the paracentral and/or peripheral retinal areas are still available for a wearer's eye to sense the presence and movement of surrounding objects.
