Abstract

The present invention discloses one or more techniques and / or one or more systems for effectively illuminating a target. The target may be in a restricted field of view area. Such systems can alleviate shadowing and insufficient light uniformity in surgical procedure settings, study sites, or other localized areas where humans can operate within a limited field of view. One or more illumination modules may be positioned in the target area to illuminate one or more illumination target locations in the restricted field of view. The object detection component may detect an object or desired object in the target field of view area and provide data indicative of the detected object / object to the lighting module adjustment component. Based on the data indicative of the detected object / target, the lighting module adjustment component may provide data indicative of the lighting adjustment to the first lighting module to provide the desired lighting.

Description

[0001] Related applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Serial No. 62 / 659,221, filed April 18, 2018, entitled "CONFINED FIELD OF VIEWILLUMINATION," which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for illuminating targets, and more particularly to the illumination of limited fields of view in surgical microscopes. Background technique [0004] Optical microscopes use visible light to illuminate objects within a restricted field of view. These and other limited fields of view typically utilize an illumination source to provide visible light that illuminates the target object for the desired viewing. Some restricted fields of view, often with a certain magnification, can be used to manipulate target objects on a microscale, such as in clinical settings, research settings, manufacturing, etc. In these cases, manipulation or manipulation of, for example, objects w...
