  • Patent number: 12201273
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for performing video endoscopy with fluorescent light, comprising capturing a first image sequence comprised of temporally consecutive single images, using an endoscopic video system, capturing a second image sequence comprised of temporally consecutive fluorescent images, using the same endoscopic video system, forming a transformation function between different single images of the first image sequence, applying the transformation function to the consecutive fluorescent images of the second image sequence associated with the single images of the first image sequence to obtain transformed fluorescent images, superimposing a current fluorescent image of the second image sequence with at least one or several transformed fluorescent images obtained from the fluorescent images immediately preceding the current fluorescent image in the second image sequence to obtain an improved fluorescent image, and displaying a respective fluorescent image resulting in an improved second image

  • Patent number: 11573427
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical viewing system and a method of aligning an eyepiece image and an image of a camera that is part of an optical viewing system, which enables both the observation of an optical image with one eye and the capturing of the optical image with the camera. The optical viewing system comprises an optical device, an eyepiece with field diaphragm, a beam splitter, and a camera with image capturing level. According to the method, an image mask is adjusted to the eyepiece image for the camera image of the camera as follows: The eyepiece is illuminated from its side facing away from the optical device, and light passes through the eyepiece to the beam splitter so that the light is partially reflected from the first semi-reflective surface to the second semi-reflective surface and from the second semi-reflective surface to the camera, resulting in the camera capturing an image of the field diaphragm of the eyepiece as a light spot on the image capturing level.

  • Patent number: 10202632
    Abstract: A method for determining the amount of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), in which—if required—the erythrocytes in a sample are hemolyzed, the haemoglobin that is then released—if required—is contacted with a proteolytic agent and the glycated hemoglobin degradation products obtained in this way or otherwise are quantified is disclosed. In order to provide such a process and reagents employable therein that has/have the property of sufficient stability of the chemical compounds that are essential to the reaction, the provision of the requisite proteolytic agent in the form of an inactivated protease is proposed, which is then only reactivated in situ.
