ILLUMINATION DEVICE, LIGHTING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE ILLUMINATION DEVICE
20220186897 · 2022-06-16 ·

The invention relates to an illumination device comprising a plurality of LEDs (3) arranged on a carrier, an optical element disposed in a path of light emitted by at least one of said LEDs (3), and a driving unit for operating at least one of said LEDs (3). The driving unit in a first operation mode drives at a selected power a first selection of LEDs (13, FIG. 3A) to issue a first beam with a device light flux and with a first beam width, and drives in an at least one further operation mode at said selected power a further selection of LEDs (13, FIG. 3B), different in at least one LED from said first selection, to issue a further beam with said device light flux and with a further beam width wider than the first beam width. The LEDs of the further selection of the LEDs are evenly distributed over the carrier.

OPHTHALMIC SURGICAL MICROSCOPE WITH STROBOSCOPIC ILLUMINATION

An ophthalmic system for visualization of interactions between ocular matter and a probe tip of a probe within or in contact with an ocular space of an eye includes: a visualization tool having a field of view that includes at least a portion of the ocular space of the eye where the probe tip interfaces with the ocular matter; and a stroboscopic illumination source configured to stroboscopically illuminate at least the portion of the field of view at an illumination frequency. A method of operating a stroboscopic illumination source during an ophthalmic surgical procedure includes: identifying an illumination source type of the stroboscopic illumination source; identifying a probe type; identifying a first procedure trigger; and operating the stroboscopic illumination source based on the probe type, the illumination source type, and the first procedure trigger.

SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING SPECTRAL REFLECTANCE IMAGING USING NARROW BAND EMITTERS
20220159801 · 2022-05-19 ·

A system for obtaining a multispectral image of a scene includes a first light source, a second light source, at least one imaging sensor, and a controller. The first light source emits light in a first wavelength range. The second light source emits light in a second wavelength range. The at least one imaging sensor senses light in the first wavelength range reflected off of the scene during a first illumination sensing period and senses light in the second wavelength range reflected off of the scene during a second illumination sensing period. The controller is electrically coupled to the at least one imaging sensor. The controller interprets signals received from the at least one imaging sensor as imaging data, stores the imaging data, and analyzes the imaging data with regard to multiple dimensions. The first illumination sensing period and the second illumination sensing period are discrete time periods.
