  • Patent number: 4673269
    Abstract: A compact multiple image camera sequentially exposes upon a film a number of images of a video monitor that displays pictures of a patient subjected to a scanning device. The video monitor and a folded optical system move transversely of the film, which itself is mounted for longitudinal motion to enable multiple exposures in different arrays on the film. To enable the making of color photographs of a color video image that is supplied to the black-and-white monitor, a filter disc bearing a number of color filter elements is rotatably mounted between the camera lens elements, and its motion is synchronized with the sequential feeding of individual video signal color components to the monitor and the blanking of the monitor so as to sequentially expose upon the film filtered images of the screen of the black-and-white monitor as it sequentially displays components of the different colors of the video color signal.

  • Patent number: 4343543
    Abstract: A multiple image camera sequentially exposes upon a section of a roll film a number of images of an oscilloscope that displays images of a patient subjected to a scanning device. The oscilloscope, together with a folded optical system, is mounted to move bidirectionally transversely of the film which itself is transported bidirectionally so as to enable multiple exposures of the oscilloscope in different arrays on the film. After exposure of a selected number of images, the exposed film section is cut and a previously disengaged transport mechanism drives the cut film section into a detachable cassette.

  • Patent number: 4285587
    Abstract: A multi-image camera sequentially exposes upon a film sheet a number of images of an oscilloscope that displays images of a patient subjected to a scanning device. Camera optics and motion of parts are arranged to provide a lightweight and compact package. Fixed to the elongated oscilloscope body is an optical system having a folded optical path that provides an output leg parallel to and above and to the rear of the oscilloscope screen. A sheet film slide carrier is mounted for slidable motion backward and forward relative to and just above the oscilloscope body. The oscilloscope, together with the folded path optical system, is mounted for motion from side to side.
