  • Active lens defogging for digital imaging systems
    Patent number: 10952599
    Abstract: A lightfield otoscope includes a housing with a tip configured to receive a disposable speculum. The otoscope also includes a microlens array, a sensor array and an optical train contained within the housing. The optical train includes an objective lens and a relay lens. The objective lens is positioned at least partially within the tip. The relay lens is used to relay an image plane of the objective lens to the microlens array and to relay a pupil plane of the objective lens to the sensor array. An active heating element is also contained within the housing and positioned to heat the front surface, thereby reducing fogging and/or condensation on the front surface.
