  • Publication number: 20230392924
    Abstract: A condenser unit for providing directed lighting of an object to be measured positioned in a measured object position, wherein the condenser unit comprises a light source for emitting a light beam and an optical element having a positive refractive power. The condenser unit further comprises at least one attenuation element arranged in a common optical axis with the light source and the optical element, which attenuation element comprises a location-dependent light intensity attenuation effect for the light beam incident on the attenuation element, more particularly wherein the light intensity attenuation effect declines from the optical axis towards an edge of the attenuation element.

  • Publication number: 20230225599
    Abstract: An imaging system includes a first optical system configured to receive an imaging beam from a surgical region. The imaging beam including a first wavelength band and a second wavelength band. The imaging beam is directed along a first optical axis. The first optical system includes a dichroic beam splitter, and the first optical system is configured to direct a first optical beam associated with the first wavelength band along a first direction and direct a second optical beam associated with the second wavelength band along a second direction. The imaging system also includes a first sensor located along the first direction and configured to capture a first image associated with the first optical beam. The image system further includes a first relay lens system located along the second direction downstream from the first optical system and configured to receive the second optical beam.
