MICROSCOPE WITH EXTENDED FIELD OF VISION

摘要

An optical system is provided for enlarging the field of view with respect to an object by high-speed scanning, image capture, and image mosaicking along an optical path. The optical system includes an objective lens assembly positioned downstream from the object, an iris downstream from the objective lens assembly, one or more scanning mirrors placed downstream from the iris for high-speed scanning, one or more imaging lenses and irises downstream of the scanning mirrors, and a high-speed imaging device downstream of the imaging lenses. The optical system also includes a mechanism for processing and constructing scanned and captured images into a mosaic image without imaging algorithms. The optical system creates a mosaic image of a large field of view through a microscope at fast refresh rates of about 25 Hz with a high resolution that is free of blurring or aberrations.
