  • Patent number: 8851671
    Abstract: An optical system and measurement method for imaging three-dimensional objects with low light scatter comprising at least one source of radiation; a radiation projection means for creating a set of foci through a volume of an object; and a means for imaging the returned light from the set of foci on at least one camera, wherein the imaging of the volume of the object is at a different angle from the projection, allowing for detection of the returned light on separate camera pixels. The measurement method further comprises projecting a longitudinal grid of elongated foci through the volume of an object; imaging returned light from the object at a different angle on at least one camera, so as to avoid overlapping the elongated images; and analyzing the imaged, returned light to yield depth information of the object at a multiplicity of points.

  • Patent number: 7708402
    Abstract: A device for improved vision into or out of at least one eye of a subject. The device comprises an enclosing vessel for holding one or more lenses in front one or two eyes of the subject and for holding a substance whose refractive index is matched to the refractive index of the cornea. The vessel is adapted to seal the substance to the face around the eye or eyes of the subject thereby allowing focusing into or out of the eye or eyes.
