Patent number: 10390705Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device which includes the following features: a light source illuminates a target to generate an optical inspection signal; a probe head provides an optical path for the optical inspection signal; a probe tube arranged at a front end of the probe head; at least one switched filter module arranged in the optical path, allowing the optical inspection signal to pass therethrough to generate a corresponding spectral signal; and an image sensor arranged behind the switched filter module, receiving the spectral signal and generating a spectral image. The spectral image can be transmitted to an external device, wherefrom the user can use the spectral image to examine the target in further detail. The present invention features a rotary-type or movable-type switched filter module, which facilitates the user to switch filters easily during optical inspection.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2016Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: National Chiao Tung UniversityInventors: Mang Ou-Yang, Ting-Wei Huang, Chin-Siang Yang, Yao-Fang Hsieh, Sing-Tsung Li, Jin-Chern Chiou, Ming-Hsui Tsai, Jeng-Ren Duann, Yung-Jiun Lin, Shuen-De Wu, Yung-Jhe Yan, Zheng-Lin He

Patent number: 8760647Abstract: A microscanning system including a microscope, a relay lens device, a stepping motor and a hyper-spectrometer is disclosed. The microscope is adapted to acquire and enlarge an image of an object to generate an enlarged image which is a 2D image distributed along the first direction and second direction. The relay lenses device disposed behind the microscope receives and transfers the enlarged image outputted by the microscope. The stepping motor electrically connected to the relay lens device reciprocates the relay lens linearly in the first direction device in a stepwise manner along the second direction. The hyper-spectrometer disposed behind the rely lens device receives the partial enlarged images of the object along the first direction that are transferred by the relay lens device sequentially along the second direction, and transform the partially enlarged images into the corresponding spectrum information.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2011Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: China Medical UniversityInventors: Jin-Chern Chiou, Ming-Hsui Tsai, Mang Ou-Yang, Shuen-De Wu, Yao-Fang Hsieh, Ting-Wei Huang, Yung-Jiun Lin
