  • Publication number: 20180239123
    Abstract: A 3D stereo image display device for a surgical microscope is provided. The surgical microscope comprises a main body, a mechanical arm, and an operation assembly. The 3D stereo image display device has a shell, at least one objective lens, an image processing circuit and a screen. The at least one objective lens is mounted in the shell. The image processing circuit is mounted in the shell and is electrically connected to the at least one objective lens. The host computer has an image processor for converting images captured by the at least one objective lens into 3D stereo images. The screen is mounted on an outer surface of the shell and is electrically connected to the image processing circuit for displaying the 3D stereo images. Thus, the 3D stereo image display device is provided to prevent tiredness and improve applicability and convenience.

  • Patent number: 10025083
    Abstract: An adjustable dual-lens device for 3D stereoscopic surgical microscopes has an outer casing, an image set, and an adjusting set. The image set is mounted in the outer casing and has two lenses. The lenses are pivotally mounted in the outer casing at a spaced interval. The adjusting set is mounted in the outer casing and has two adjusting units. Each adjusting unit has a driving motor, a cam, and a limiting element. The driving motor is mounted in the outer casing adjacent to one of the lenses and has a driving shaft. The cam is eccentrically mounted around the driving shaft and is pressed against the lens that is adjacent to the driving motor. The limiting element is connected to the outer casing and the corresponding lens to enable the corresponding lens to press against the cam.

  • Publication number: 20170354403
    Abstract: A surgical instrument with pressure sensing and vision feedback functions has an instrument body and a piezochromic device. The instrument body includes a work piece with a visible surface. The piezochromic device is disposed on the visible surface of the work piece of the instrument body and performs color change when the piezochromic device senses pressure. Therefore, when a doctor performs surgery using the surgical instrument, the doctor can directly see the piezochromic device. When the piezochromic device contacts other surgical instruments or presses organs or tissues within a patient's body, the piezochromic device will change color when the piezochromic device senses the pressure enabling the doctor to adjust the surgical instrument accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20170351075
    Abstract: An adjustable light source device for a stereoscopic surgical microscope has a circuit board and multiple light sources. The circuit board is mounted in an outer casing of the stereoscopic surgical microscope and is electrically connected to a host computer of the stereoscopic surgical microscope. The light sources are electrically mounted on the circuit board at spaced intervals around two objective lenses of the stereoscopic surgical microscope and extend out of the outer casing. Each one of the light sources has a wavelength different from wavelengths of the other light sources and is controlled to emit light by an operating set of the stereoscopic surgical microscope via a program processing interface of the host computer sending signals to the circuit board. The adjustable light source device can emit lights with different wavelengths to enable the stereoscopic surgical microscope to capture clearer images for various surgical divisions.
