  • Optical adapter connectable to an image acquisition device, in particular intended to be used for microscopic observation
    Patent number: 10684460
    Abstract: An optical adapter includes a support, which can be removably coupled to an image acquisition device. The support has a substrate made of substantially transparent material. The substrate has a proximal surface intended for facing towards the device and a distal surface located at a distance from the proximal surface and intended for facing towards an object to be observed. The support also has a lens located in a seat obtained in the substrate and facing towards the objective of the device. In addition, the support has a reflector located laterally relative to the lens and arranged for facing towards a light source integrated into the device and conveying the light emitted by the light source in a transversal direction towards the lens and past the distal surface.

  • LENS STRUCTURE ASSOCIABLE WITH AN IMAGE ACQUISITION DEVICE, IN PARTICULAR FOR MICROSCOPIC OBSERVATION
    Publication number: 20180217362
    Abstract: A lens structure includes a dorsal portion having a curved and/or convex surface and a ventral portion having an adhesive bottom surface that can be connected to an image acquisition device. The dorsal portion is substantially semi rigid or rigid and is made from a non-adhesive polymeric resin. The ventral portion includes a transparent and substantially flat support layer having the bottom surface on one side and, on the opposite side, an intermediate surface connected to the dorsal portion.
