  • Publication number: 20230283869
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a visualization device may include an image sensor, a lens for focusing light onto the image sensor, a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a lateral wall surface extending between the first end and the second end, and a coating on the lateral wall surface. The coating may include at least one of an electrically-insulating layer and a light-blocking layer, and may be deposited on the lateral wall surface using, for example, physical vapor deposition (PVD).

  • Publication number: 20220369906
    Abstract: Imaging devices, imaging systems, and methods are presented for determining distances, depths, and sizes of a viewed tissue or object through a visualization device. The device may include an elongated shaft and an imaging component. The imaging component may extend through the elongated shaft. The imaging component may have a lens and may be configured to capture an image of an area exterior of the elongated shaft in a field of view of the lens. A transparent cover may extend over the lens. The transparent cover may be configured to cause one or more identifiers to appear in the image. The imaging device may include or be used with a computing device to analyze image data of captured images.
