Patent number: 10437037Abstract: An electronic microscope, in particular a surgical microscope, comprises a camera unit that has at least one electronic image sensor for generating primary image data sets and that comprises an imaging optics for generating an image of an object on the image sensor. The microscope further comprises an electronic viewfinder, an adjustment device for varying a focal position of the camera unit, a control device, and a computing device. The control device is adapted to control the adjustment device to make a cyclically repeating variation of the focal position of the camera unit between a plurality of focal values and to control the image sensor to generate a respective primary image data set for each of the plurality of focal values. The computing device is adapted to determine a secondary image data set from the primary image data sets generated for the plurality of focal values, said secondary image data set having an extended depth of field relative to the respective primary image data sets.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2016Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: ARRI MEDICAL GMBHInventors: Hans Kiening, Peter Geissler

Patent number: 6853438Abstract: The invention relates to a test apparatus for the checking of the exposure quality of an exposed film, in particular of a motion film. A test pattern holder serves for the holding of a test pattern of the exposed film. A reference pattern with at least one reference mark is provided in superimposition with respect to the test pattern held by the test pattern holder. A light transmitter serves for the illumination of the test pattern held by the test pattern holder and of the reference pattern superimposed herewith. A light receiver is provided for the reception of the light transmitted through the reference pattern and through the test pattern and for the generation of corresponding electrical received signals. An evaluation device evaluates these received signals with respect to at least one quality parameter. The invention furthermore relates to a corresponding test method.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2003Date of Patent: February 8, 2005Assignee: Arnold & Richter Cine Technik GmbH & Co.
