  • Publication number: 20230384182
    Abstract: A machine for measuring the optical properties of a lens for a pair of eyeglasses includes a light emitting system for emitting a light beam; a receiver arranged for receiving the light beam; an alignment system configured to align the lens according to a predetermined measuring position; a gripping system configured to grip the eyeglasses; and a supporting system on which the eyeglasses or the single lens are positioned. The alignment system is arranged at a distance from the light emitting system so that at least a lower support element is not intercepted by the light beam. The gripping system is in a closed configuration after the alignment has been performed and then a subsequent shifting of the support structure is carried out to bring the lens under the light emitting system.

  • Patent number: 10704996
    Abstract: A machinery for preparation and analysis of one or more slides for a biological material according to an immuno-fluorescence technique includes a loading station for one or more containers of test liquids and/or samples of product; a positioning station of the slides; a containment station of one or more slide covers; an analysis station having a microscope that acquires digital images at one or more magnifications; an assembly, mobile inside the area defined by the machinery and controlled to move through the stations to prepare one or more slides according to a predefined protocol and arrange them in a corresponding analysis station for subsequent acquisition of digital images; one or more covers for each slide arranged in the seat; a container of the covers, the assembly being controlled to remove the covers once the phase of pre-dilution of the samples has been completed and arrange them inside the container.

  • Publication number: 20140347630
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a Michelson-type interferometer (1) for measuring the intraocular axial length (AL) comprising: an arrangement (7) able to move apart and come near with respect to an emitting light source (5), said arrangement (7) comprising at least a first (8) and second (9) at least partially reflecting surface arranged at a pre-determined mutual distance (d); a motorized driving system (500) to command the movement of the reflecting arrangement (7); wherein said motorized driving system (500) is controlled in such a way that the scanning is completed in a single translation stroke in a direction starting from an initial position in which the first surface (8) generates the first interference peak at the beginning of the translation and with such a fixed distance (d) between the plates that afterwards during said translation the second plate (9) generates the second interference peak.
