Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a laparoscope optical system, in particular to an achromatic fluorescence laparoscope optical system. Background Art
[0002] In the field of medical equipment, endoscopes can penetrate into narrow areas inside the human body for doctors to observe lesions. Among them, laparoscopes have longer and harder tubes and can be used to treat diseases in the abdominal cavity and inside the abdominal cavity. The wound is small and the patient recovers quickly. Laparoscopes usually consist of three parts: objective lens, rod lens and eyepiece. The objective lens is aimed at the surgical site, and the main imaging rays are parallel to each other. It has the characteristics of image telecentricity, which is convenient for subsequent imaging; the rod lens and the object image are double telecentric, and the image formed by the objective lens is rotated multiple times with the same magnification. It is usually a combination of multiple sets of identical rod lenses to extend the working length of the laparoscope; the eyepiece object side re-images the image transmitted by the rod lens, and cooperates with the optical adapter to provide the final close-up image.
[0003] With the development of related medical technologies, such as the clinical application of fluorescence imaging technology or photodynamic therapy, more requirements are put forward for the use band of endoscopes. Fluorescence imaging technology uses specific fluorescent probes to mark target molecules, that is, to stain the diseased cells, so that the boundary between the diseased tissue and the healthy tissue is more obvious, and then a fluorescent endoscope is used to detect the fluorescent molecules; photodynamic therapy injects photosensitizers into the patient's veins, guides the laser to the lesion site with the help of a fluorescent endoscope or optical fiber, excites the photosensitizer to emit fluorescence for positioning, and uses in vitro laser irradiation to excite oxygen molecules to produce active singlet oxygen to destroy the diseased cells, so as to achieve the purpose of treatment and avoid the large wounds caused by surgery. In summary, the fluorescence endoscope not only has the real image recognition function of the surface of human tissues of conventional white light endoscopes, so that doctors can judge the condition based on professional knowledge and experience, but also has the fluorescence imaging function of the tissues below the surface, which improves the visibility of the lesion area, plays a key role in accurate positioning during surgery and reducing surgical risks, and is widely used in clinical surgery.
[0004] The current fluorescent laparoscope has the following characteristics in use:
[0005] 1) The use band of white light laparoscope is 400~700nm, and the fluorescence laparoscope adds the near-infrared band of 800~900nm on this basis, and its spectral range becomes larger, and the chromatic aberration problem is more obvious. The Chinese invention patent with announcement number CN111657823B provides an endoscope adapter optical system, which balances the chromatic aberration caused by the wide spectral range of 400nm~1000nm through two groups of double-cemented lenses with negative optical focal length, and sets a single lens with positive optical focal length between the two groups of lenses to meet the imaging requirements. It has good imaging quality, simple structure and small size; but as an adapter, that is, an eyepiece with an imaging detector at the image plane end, its image plane size is limited by the imaging detector. Therefore, when the optical system is set in reverse on the side of the objective end, there is a problem of small field of view and failure to meet the use requirements.
[0006] 2) In order to observe the lesion area more comprehensively, the laparoscope usually has a larger field of view. The closer the field of view is to the edge, the image magnification changes, which causes distortion. At the same time, the rod mirror of the traditional laparoscope is a relay mirror group, which is composed of multiple groups of 1:1 symmetrical image transfer systems with the same optical structure. The front and back are used in conjunction with the objective lens and the eyepiece respectively. If there is a slight error in the mechanical coordination between the two, it will cause various large aberrations, affecting the observation effect. The US patent number US11520135B2 provides a rigid tube endoscope optical system, which corrects the image tilt by controlling the eccentricity of several lenses in front of the objective lens, suppresses coma and chromatic aberration, improves the image clarity, and sets a double cemented lens in the rod mirror to cooperate with the imaging; but the design of the fluorescence band and the viewing angle is not considered.
[0007] 3) In order to better adapt to the application scenarios, some endoscopes are equipped with multiple viewing prisms to deflect light and obtain images in multiple directions. The Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN116763233A provides an endoscope optical system with multiple viewing angles, which realizes the steering of light beams by superimposing multiple prisms and uses aspherical surfaces to reduce distortion; however, the use of fluorescence bands and chromatic aberration issues are not considered.

[0064] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are for reference and illustration only and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of patent protection of the present invention. Example
[0065] In the drawings, the thickness, size, and shape of the lenses have been slightly exaggerated for ease of explanation, and the drawings are only embodiments and are not drawn strictly to scale.
[0066] In the present application, the focal length of the lens and the lens group is described based on the wavelength band used, and the subscripts e and flu are used to represent 546nm (visible light band) and 835nm (fluorescence band). In the physical parameter table of the specific embodiment, the refractive index and dispersion coefficient values of the material are described based on the d-line, and the wavelength of the d-line is 587.56nm.
[0067] In the figure captions, the diffraction limit indicates the theoretical maximum value of the optical system, and T and S indicate the meridian and sagittal directions, respectively. Since the diffraction limit values in the two directions are the same, they are combined into the diffraction limit-TS; 0°-T indicates the meridian direction of the central field of view, 0°-S indicates the sagittal direction of the central field of view, 40°-T indicates the meridian direction of the edge field of view, and 40°-S indicates the sagittal direction of the edge field of view.
[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the aspheric lens used to improve the imaging quality of the lens and reduce distortion has a surface shape that satisfies the following equation:
[0069] .
[0070] Wherein, y represents the radial coordinate value of the lens perpendicular to the optical axis, Z(y) is the vector height of the aspheric lens from the aspheric vertex when it is at a height of y along the optical axis, c=1 / R, R represents the central curvature radius of the corresponding aspheric lens surface, k represents the cone coefficient, and parameters A, B, and C are the 2nd, 4th, and 6th order coefficients of the high-order aspheric polynomial, respectively.
[0071] An achromatic fluorescence laparoscope optical system, such as Figure 1 As shown, from the object side to the image side, there are an objective lens 1 with positive optical power, a rod lens group 2 with positive optical power, and an eyepiece 3 with positive optical power. The objective lens 1 and the rod lens group 2 form an endoscope group, and the primary imaging surface I is between the objective lens 1 and the rod lens group 2, and the secondary imaging surface II is between the rod lens group 2 and the eyepiece 3. In the present application, the image quality evaluation indicators such as transfer function, field curvature, and distortion of each embodiment are obtained on the secondary imaging surface II.
[0072] The focal length f of objective lens 1 in the visible light band _1_e The focal length f of the eyepiece 3 in the visible light band _3_e Satisfies the following relationship: 3≤|f _3_e / f _1_e |≤7, and the optical power distribution between the objective lens 1 and the eyepiece 3 can be controlled according to the relationship, so as to control the field of view angle and focal length of the laparoscope optical system and meet the use requirements.
[0073] The focal length f of the endoscope group consisting of objective lens 1 and rod lens group 2 in the visible light band _e and the focal length f in the fluorescence band _flu Satisfies the following relationship: 0.99≤f _e / f _flu ≤1.01, ensuring that the laparoscope can be adjusted to switch between visible light and fluorescence at any time during use without additional debugging.
[0074] In the visible light band, the focal length f of the endoscope group is _e and the focal length f of objective lens 1 _1_e Satisfies the relationship: 0.99≤|f _e / f _1_e |≤1.01, controlling the focal length of the objective lens 1 to be close to the focal length of the endoscope group can enable the objective lens 1 to image the scene and leave a margin for the subsequent image transfer of the rod lens group 2.
[0075] The objective lens 1 is composed of a first objective lens group 100 and a second objective lens group 200 from the object side to the image side. The first objective lens group 100 collects the light beam from the object side and diverges it to the image side for subsequent processing. The second objective lens group 200 receives the light beam transmitted from the first objective lens group 100 and completes the first imaging after correcting the aberration.
[0076] In the visible light band, the focal length f of the first objective lens group 100 is100_e and the focal length f of the second objective lens group 200 200_e Satisfy the relationship: 0.3≤f 100_e / f 200_e ≤0.9, the length of objective lens 1 is t1, satisfying the relationship: 30mm<t1<40mm, controlling the optical focal length of the two objective lens groups, limiting the speed at which the first objective lens group 100 collects light by controlling the lower limit of t1, and properly controlling the length of objective lens 1, and ensuring that the second objective lens group 200 has enough space to adjust the direction of the light beam and correct the aberration by controlling the upper limit of t1, so that the light propagates smoothly in objective lens 1 and reduces the sensitivity of the lens.
[0077] The first objective lens group 100 includes, from the object side to the image side, a protective glass G1 , a first lens L1 , a viewing prism G2 , and a second lens L2 .
[0078] The material of protective glass G1 is sapphire, which has the characteristics of high hardness, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, stable chemical properties, and high transmittance. As the first lens of the laparoscope, it can isolate the human body environment and the laparoscope without affecting its optical properties, and adapt to sterilization or disinfection environments.
[0079] The first lens L1 has negative optical power, a convex surface on the object side and a concave surface on the image side. Both surfaces are aspherical. It is used to collect object light and diverge it to ensure sufficient observation field of view. The aspherical design enables the light from the edge of the field to pass more smoothly, reducing lens sensitivity and aberrations.
[0080] The second lens L2 has positive optical power, a flat object side and a convex image side, which can appropriately suppress the light divergence angle, correct the aberration caused by the first lens L1, and improve the imaging quality.
[0081] The second objective lens group 200 includes two doublet lenses. The first doublet lens close to the object side is composed of a third lens L3 and a fourth lens L4, and the second doublet lens close to the image side is composed of a fifth lens L5 and a sixth lens L6.
[0082] The dispersion coefficients of the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5 and the sixth lens L6 are Vd3, Vd4, Vd5 and Vd6 respectively. Appropriate materials are selected to satisfy the relationship: 45≤|Vd3-Vd4|≤65, 60≤|Vd5-Vd6|≤80. The chromatic aberration can be suppressed by controlling the lower limit, and the excessive correction of chromatic aberration can be prevented by controlling the upper limit.
[0083] The cemented surface S of the third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4 胶合1 The radius of curvature is R 胶合1 , the cemented surface S of the fifth lens L5 and the sixth lens L6 胶合2 The radius of curvature is R 胶合2, the distance between the two bonding surfaces is D, satisfying the relationship: 0.1mm -1 ≤|D / R 胶合1 / R 胶合2 |≤0.5mm -1 By controlling the lower limit, we can ensure that the light is converged onto the imaging surface, while by controlling the upper limit, the light can be propagated smoothly, the generation of aberrations can be suppressed, and the sensitivity of the lens can be reduced.
[0084] The second objective lens group 200 may further include a first aspheric lens L11 whose object side surface and image side surface are both aspheric. The first aspheric lens L11 is located on the object side of the first double cemented lens, and can control the direction of light in different fields of view at a high light height, suppress distortion, and improve imaging quality.
[0085] In the first objective lens group 100, the viewing prism G2 may be an optical component that only allows light to pass through, and at this time, the angle between the incident surface and the exit surface of the light is 0°.
[0086] like Figure 2 As shown, the viewing prism G2 can also be a viewing prism composed of three optical elements, which is composed of a first prism G201, a second prism G202 and a third prism G203 arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side and glued to each other. According to the beam path, the object side surface of the first prism G201 is the beam incident surface S1, the upper surface where the first prism G201 and the second prism G202 are glued is the transmission surface S2, the surface where the second prism G202 and the third prism G203 are glued is the primary reflection surface S3, the lower surface where the first prism G201 and the second prism G202 are glued is the secondary reflection surface S4, and the image side surface of the second prism G202 is the beam exit surface S5. One structure of the first objective lens group 100 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the object side of the second prism G202 is glued to the first lens L1 to play the role of light transmission and support.
[0087] When the angle between the beam incident surface S1 and the beam exit surface S5 is 30°, a viewing angle of 30° can be achieved; when the angle between the beam incident surface S1 and the beam exit surface S5 is 45°, a viewing angle of 45° can be achieved, completing a more comprehensive observation.
[0088] The rod lens group 2 is composed of three imaging rod lenses with the same optical structure. Each imaging rod lens is composed of two symmetrically arranged rod lens units 300, forming a one-to-one symmetrical image transfer system.
[0089] The focal length of the imaging rod lens in the visible light band is f 2_e , satisfying the relationship: 0<|1 / f 2_e |≤0.005mm -1, control the upper limit, make the focal length of the imaging rod lens close to infinity, that is, make the focal length of the rod lens group 2 close to infinity, realize the double telecentricity of the object and image, and better connect with the objective lens 1 and the eyepiece 3.
[0090] The rod mirror unit 300 close to the object side is composed of a seventh lens L7, an eighth lens L8, a ninth lens L9 and a tenth lens L10. The seventh lens L7 has positive refractive power and serves as a first lens to collect the front light beam.
[0091] When the eighth lens L8 is a double concave lens, the optical power is negative, and it can cooperate with the seventh lens L7 to properly control the direction of light for subsequent imaging; when the eighth lens L8 is a double flat rod lens, it has no optical power and only serves to extend the optical path.
[0092] The ninth lens L9 has positive refractive power.
[0093] The tenth lens L10 has negative optical power, a concave object-side surface, and a convex image-side surface.
[0094] The dispersion coefficients of the seventh lens L7, the eighth lens L8, the ninth lens L9 and the tenth lens L10 are Vd7, Vd8, Vd9 and Vd 10 , satisfying the relationship: 20≤|Vd7-Vd8|≤25, 30≤|Vd8-Vd9|≤35, 40≤|Vd9-Vd 10 |≤45. By controlling the lower limit, the direction of light beams in different bands can be guided to suppress chromatic aberration, and by controlling the upper limit, excessive chromatic aberration correction can be prevented.
[0095] The seventh lens L7, the eighth lens L8, the ninth lens L9 and the tenth lens L10 can be glued together in sequence to reduce the number of interfaces between the lenses and the air and reduce the light energy loss of the light beam on the lens surface. At the same time, the four-cemented lens can improve the alignment accuracy when assembling the lens barrel and reduce the manufacturing cost.
[0096] The seventh lens L7 and the eighth lens L8 may form a doublet lens, and the ninth lens L9 and the tenth lens L10 may form a doublet lens, and the optical path may be appropriately extended by an air layer between the two doublet lenses, and the difficulty of assembling the doublet lenses may be reduced.
[0097] The imaging of the objective lens 1 on the primary imaging surface still has aberrations such as field curvature, distortion and chromatic aberration. The aberrations can be corrected again through the secondary imaging of the rod lens group 2 to obtain a higher quality imaging result on the secondary imaging surface.
[0098] The optical power of the eyepiece 3 is positive, and it works in the visible light and fluorescence bands like the objective lens 1 and the rod lens group 2.
[0099] The eyepiece 3 and the rod lens group 2 must meet the pupil matching principle: the entrance pupil position ENP of the eyepiece 3 coincides with the exit pupil position EXP of the rod lens group 2: 0.99≤ENP / EXP≤1.01, the entrance pupil diameter END of the eyepiece 3 is the same as the exit pupil diameter EXD of the rod lens group 2: 0.99≤END / EXD≤1.01; in addition, the relevant angles of the eyepiece 3 and the rod lens group 2 must also meet the relevant conditions: the object side aperture angle NA2 of the eyepiece 3 and the image side aperture angle NA1 of the rod lens group 2 satisfy the relationship: 0°≤|NA2-NA1|≤0.5°, the object side chief ray incident angle CRA2 of the eyepiece 3 and the object side chief ray incident angle CRA1 of the rod lens group 2 satisfy the relationship: 0°≤|CRA2-CRA1|≤0.5°, the magnification of the eyepiece 3 β 3Satisfy the relationship: 0.95≤ β 3≤1.15. By limiting the above relationship, the eyepiece 3 can be well connected with the rod lens group 2 on the object side, achieving the effects of high imaging resolution and high relative illumination.
[0100] At the same time, since the aberration of the optical system is mainly corrected in the objective lens 1 and the rod lens group 2, the aberration correction function of the eyepiece 3 is relatively light, and there is a small field curvature and distortion. The field curvature FC3 of the eyepiece 3 satisfies: 0≤|FC3|≤0.08mm, and the distortion TD3 satisfies: 0≤|TD3|≤0.8%.
[0101] Based on the above description, an example of an imaging rod lens for the objective lens 1 and the rod lens group 2 will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
