  • Publication number: 20260033715
    Abstract: A system, method and/or device for obtaining interferometric measurements using multiple light sources to image, in sequence, a location on a sample, where the light sources have different spectral wavelength bands, and adjacent spectral wavelength bands overlap each other. The respective interferometric measurements are combined mathematically to define a composite interferometric measurement for the location on the sample. The composite interferometric measurement has a greater axial resolution than that of any of the individual light sources.

  • Patent number: 12207877
    Abstract: A scan imaging system has a scanning component that receives light from a light source, and creates a scanning beam that is directed by an optic train to a sample to be imaged. A camera captures light returning from the sample to construct an image. Reflexes on a target lens within the optic train are prevented by one or more light blocks. A first light block, imaged to the target lens, is positioned in alight path from the light source to the scanning component to create a first moving dark zone on the target lens through which the scanning beam from the scanning component to the sample may not pass. A second light block, also imaged to the target lens, is positioned in alight path from the sample to the collector to create a second moving dark zone on the target lens through which light returning from the sample may not pass. The moving dark zones maintain the scanning beam separate from the returning light on the target lens.

  • Patent number: 12029486
    Abstract: A low cost fundus camera uses LED light sources placed adjacent the camera's imaging stop, and thereby eliminates the need for optics for introducing the light source to the camera's optical path. Lens reflex in the pupil relay is avoided by using only reflective optics in the pupil relay. Reflex from the LED is mitigated by actuating each LED separately, one at a time, and capturing a separate image with each actuated LED. Reflex-free regions of each captured image are extracted and combined to create a composite reflex-free image.
