    摘要: A flexible tube insertion apparatus (10) includes an insertion section (40), a stiffness variable portion (51), and a detection unit (60). The flexible tube insertion apparatus (10) includes a bend determination portion (121) that determines, based on shape information, whether or not a bent part is present in the insertion section (40), and a control portion (127) that controls a stiffness of the stiffness variable portion (51) provided in a segment arranged in the bent part to be a stiffness that makes the bent part substantially straight, when the bend judgment portion (121) determines that the bent part is present in the insertion section (40).

    摘要: The integrated optical system (100, 100', 100'', 100''') comprises a distal microendoscopic probe (102) having a prevalently longitudinal extension, capable of penetrating into a tissue to be observed, through which light radiations, directed towards the tissue and/or coming from the tissue, are able to pass; and a substantially plate-shaped proximal element (104), which is integral with the probe (102) and extends transversally to said probe (102). The element (104) can be coupled to a frame (16) of a microscopic investigation apparatus (10), and is optically transparent at least in an input optical interface region (104a) towards which the optically usable output area (102a) of the probe (102) faces. Between the optically usable area (102a) and the input interface region (104a) an optically transparent adhesive (105) is directly interposed, which constrains the probe (102) securely to the element (104). The probe (102) has an elongated body (106) comprising a lens with microfabricated aspherical curvature.

    摘要: Improved systems, methods, and devices relating to optical fiber scanners are provided. In one aspect, a scanning apparatus includes an optical fiber and a piezoelectric actuator coupled to the optical fiber to deflect a distal end of the optical fiber in a scanning pattern. The apparatus can include drive circuitry coupled to the piezoelectric actuator, sense circuitry electrically coupled to the piezoelectric actuator and the drive circuitry to determine displacement of the piezoelectric actuator, and a processor coupled to the drive circuitry and the sense circuitry to drive the piezoelectric actuator in response to the displacement.

    摘要: The present invention provides an intraoral imaging and illumination apparatus (10) comprising a rear portion (12) and a front portion (14) removably connected to the rear portion (12). The front portion (14) is formed as a light guide (29). The rear portion (12) comprises an imaging device (16) and an illumination device (18). The illumination device (18) is adapted to couple light into the front portion (14) and towards a leading end (30) of the front portion (14) opposite the rear portion (12) so as to illuminate a first object (66). The imaging device (16) is adapted to image the first object (66).
