Patent number: 5317142Abstract: The automatic focusing apparatus of this invention focuses the measuring beam emitted from a light source on a sample through one side of the pupil of an objective lens, causes light reflected by the sample to pass through the pupil of the objective lens again, focuses the light passing through the pupil of the objective lens on a light-receiving unit, and detects the spot position of the focused light. Especially, this automatic focusing apparatus has a first light-shielding member for shielding light reflected by the lower surface of a transparent thin plate in the vicinity of the focal point of the light reflected by the lower surface of the transparent thin plate, or a second light-shielding member for transmitting therethrough only light reflected by the upper surface of the transparent thin plate in the vicinity of the focal point of the light reflected by the upper surface of the transparent thin plate.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1992Date of Patent: May 31, 1994Assignee: Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroaki Noda, Shinichi Dosaka, Hiroshi Kurosawa

Patent number: 5155941Abstract: Disclosed is an industrial endoscope system having a rotary treatment member, attached to a hard top part at a distal end of an insertion unit, for effecting a treatment such as grinding by rotating this treatment member itself. The system includes a moving means for making a distal end of the treatment member movable in the axial directions of the insertion unit. This easily leads the treatment member to a target position via a lead-in port of an engine; or the treatment member can be set in a position suitable for the treatment.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1990Date of Patent: October 20, 1992Assignee: Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ichiro Takahashi, Minoru Okada, Satoshi Tatami, Tsutomu Yamamoto, Masahiro Kumakura, Hideki Okuwa, Hiroaki Noda, Nobuyuki Sakamoto, Tatsuya Ito, Eiichi Fuse, Masaaki Hayashi, Katsuya Suzuki
