Integration design of rigid endoscope with different viewing angles

摘要

High definition and magnification rigid endoscope is a significant equipment in the examination and surgery. In this paper, the design of a high definition (HD) rigid endoscope with zero viewing direction is presented with a FOV of 70°. The entrance pupil is 0.3 mm, achieved for the first time to our best knowledge. For the fabricated prototype, the theoretical resolution is 22.3 lp/mm at an object distance of 20 mm, and the depth of field (DOF) is 115 mm. The performance is proved to be great for observation during diagnosis and surgery. Besides, the endoscope with non-zero viewing direction is more needful in some conditions such as observing and diagnosing lesions on inner walls of organs and tissues. In this paper, we present two designs with non-zero viewing direction for better applications.
