Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of technology, and in particular to a microscope and binocular magnifier capable of capturing magnified images. Background Technology

[0002] A microscope is a commonly used portable optical observation tool, widely used in jewelry appraisal, print inspection, electronic component repair, biological observation, and cultural relic appreciation. A traditional microscope typically consists of a housing, an objective lens, and an eyepiece. External light enters the housing through the objective lens, is transmitted through internal optical elements (such as prisms or lens groups), and is then output as a magnified virtual image by the eyepiece for direct human observation. However, most existing microscopes only have purely optical visual observation capabilities; their attached imaging devices cannot capture the magnified image. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a microscope magnifying glass capable of capturing magnified images, thereby addressing the aforementioned technical problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the microscopic magnifying glass proposed in this invention, capable of capturing magnified images, comprises: case; Objective lens, which is mounted on the housing; Eyepiece, the eyepiece being mounted on the housing; A shooting device, which is mounted on the housing, with the lens end of the shooting device facing the inside of the housing; An optical transmission unit is installed inside the housing and is used to transmit light rays that enter the housing through the objective lens to the eyepiece and the lens end of the imaging device.

[0005] Optionally, the housing is provided with a first mounting cavity, and the optical transmission unit includes a beam splitter mounted in the first mounting cavity. The beam splitter is used to split the incident light into a transmitted beam and a reflected beam, so that one of the transmitted beam and the reflected beam can be directed toward the lens end of the imaging device and the other can be directed toward the eyepiece.

[0006] Optionally, the optical transmission unit further includes a reflector mounted in the first mounting cavity, the reflector being used to reflect light emitted from the objective lens to the beam splitter.

[0007] Optionally, the housing further includes a second mounting cavity communicating with the first mounting cavity, the second mounting cavity being located on the light-incident side of the eyepiece; the optical transmission unit further includes a prism mounted in the second mounting cavity, the prism being used to receive the reflected light beam from the beam splitter and reflect the reflected light beam to the eyepiece.

[0008] Optionally, the second mounting cavity is located above the first mounting cavity, and the optical axis of the objective lens is set at an angle to the optical axis of the eyepiece, so that the optical axis of the objective lens is deflected obliquely downward relative to the optical axis of the eyepiece.

[0009] Optionally, the imaging device is located below the first mounting cavity, with the lens end of the imaging device facing the first mounting cavity to receive the transmitted light beam from the beam splitter.

[0010] Optionally, the housing further includes a third mounting cavity communicating with the first mounting cavity. The third mounting cavity is located below the first mounting cavity, and the imaging device is located on one side of the third mounting cavity with its imaging end facing the third mounting cavity. The optical transmission unit further includes a reflector mounted in the third mounting cavity. The reflector is used to receive the transmitted light beam from the beam splitter and reflect the transmitted light beam to the imaging device.

[0011] Optionally, the intensity ratio of the transmitted beam to the reflected beam of the beam splitter is 3:7.

[0012] Optionally, the shooting device is provided with a data transmission module, which is used to provide an electrical or communication connection to the display device so that the display device can receive and display the images captured by the shooting device.

[0013] The present invention also proposes a binocular magnifying glass capable of capturing magnified images, comprising a wearable main body and a microscopic magnifying glass capable of capturing magnified images as described above. The wearable main body includes a wearable frame and a lens mounted on the wearable frame, and the microscopic magnifying glass capable of capturing magnified images is mounted on the lens.

[0014] Optionally, the number of lenses is two, and each lens is equipped with a microscopic magnifying glass. The binocular magnifying glass also includes a display device, which is electrically or communicatively connected to the imaging devices of the two microscopic magnifying glasses to receive image data captured by the two imaging devices. The display device is equipped with an image fusion module, which is used to fuse two images from the two imaging devices so that the display device can display the fused image.

[0015] The present invention provides a microscope magnifying glass capable of capturing magnified images. By integrating an imaging device and an optical transmission unit into the microscope magnifying glass, the optical transmission unit can simultaneously distribute the light magnified by the objective lens to the eyepiece and the imaging device, thereby achieving simultaneous observation and recording. This allows users to complete both observation and recording tasks on a single device, improving the usability of the microscope magnifying glass. Attached Figure Description

[0022] This invention proposes a microscope magnifying glass 100 capable of capturing magnified images. Through its specific structural configuration, it enables high-magnification observation of objects while simultaneously recording the magnified images.

[0023] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the microscope magnifying glass 100 capable of capturing magnified images includes: a housing 10; an objective lens 20 mounted on the housing 10; an eyepiece 30 mounted on the housing 10; an imaging device 40 mounted on the housing 10, with the lens end of the imaging device 40 facing the interior of the housing 10; and an optical transmission unit mounted inside the housing 10, which is used to transmit light entering the housing 10 through the objective lens 20 to the eyepiece 30 and the lens end of the imaging device 40.

[0024] In this embodiment, the housing 10 is the external structure of the microscope magnifying lens 100, and its function is to provide mounting space and physical protection for the internal optical elements, electronic components, and other mechanical parts. The housing 10 ensures the overall structural stability of the microscope magnifying lens 100 and maintains the integrity of the internal optical path. The objective lens 20 is the lens system in the microscope magnifying lens 100 closest to the observed object. Its main function is to collect light from the observed object and initially magnify it to form an intermediate image. The eyepiece 30 is the lens system in the microscope magnifying lens 100 closest to the observer's eye. Its function is to further magnify the intermediate image formed by the objective lens 20 and convert it into a virtual image for direct observation by the human eye.

[0025] The imaging device 40 is an electronic device for capturing images, such as a digital camera module. Its lens faces the internal optical path of the microscope 100 to receive and record magnified light, thereby generating a digital image or video. The imaging device 40 is capable of converting optical images into electronic data that can be stored, transmitted, and displayed.

[0026] The optical transmission unit is an optical component installed inside the housing 10. Its core function is to split the light rays entering from the objective lens 20, enabling them to be simultaneously transmitted to the eyepiece 30 and the lens end of the imaging device 40. The optical transmission unit ensures the effective distribution of light between observation and imaging, and is a key component for achieving simultaneous observation and imaging.

[0027] The housing 10 can be designed as a one-piece molded structure, for example, by injection molding or die casting to form a closed cavity with internal mounting positions for various optical and electronic components. Alternatively, the housing 10 can be assembled from multiple independent parts, such as a top cover, bottom, and side walls connected by screws or clips to form a detachable structure to facilitate the installation, maintenance, or replacement of internal components.

[0028] Objective lens 20 can be implemented using a single convex lens, which has the advantages of simple structure and low cost, and is suitable for scenarios where high image quality is not required. As another implementation method, objective lens 20 can also be composed of multiple lenses, such as using an achromatic doublet lens or a multi-element compound lens 20, to correct optical aberrations and thus obtain a clearer and more realistic magnified image.

[0029] The eyepiece 30 can employ a simple optical structure, such as a Huygens eyepiece 30 consisting of two plano-convex lenses, which is compact and easy to manufacture. Alternatively, the eyepiece 30 can employ a more complex multi-element design, such as a wide-angle eyepiece 30 consisting of multiple lens groups, to provide a larger field of view and a more comfortable viewing experience, while correcting edge distortion.

[0030] The imaging device 40 can be a highly integrated miniature camera module, containing an image sensor, an image processing chip, and a miniature lens. The imaging device 40 directly receives light through its lens and converts the light signal into an electrical signal to generate a digital image. Alternatively, the imaging device 40 can be a system consisting of an independent image sensor and interchangeable lenses, allowing users to change lenses with different focal lengths or apertures to suit different shooting scenarios.

[0031] The optical transmission unit can be composed of a semi-transparent, semi-reflective plane mirror placed at a specific angle in the optical path, transmitting part of the incident light and reflecting the other part, thus splitting the light path. Alternatively, the optical transmission unit can also consist of a series of carefully arranged mirrors 52 and lenses, which, through multiple reflections and refractions, precisely guide the light to the respective light inlets of the eyepiece 30 and the imaging device 40. Through this light-splitting mechanism, the observer can view the magnified image in real time through the eyepiece 30, while the imaging device 40 can capture the same magnified image, achieving synchronous observation and recording.

[0032] When the user aims the microscope 100 at the object being observed, light from the object first passes through the objective lens 20 of the microscope 100 and enters its internal housing 10. The objective lens 20 initially magnifies this light, forming an intermediate image. Subsequently, this magnified light is guided to the optical transmission unit installed inside the housing 10.

[0033] After receiving light from the objective lens 20, the optical transmission unit splits the light. Specifically, the optical transmission unit transmits a portion of the light to the eyepiece 30 of the microscope magnifying glass 100. When the user observes through the eyepiece 30, they can see a clear magnified image of the object being observed, allowing for detailed examination. Simultaneously, the optical transmission unit transmits another portion of the light to the lens of the imaging device 40 installed inside the housing 10. Upon receiving this portion of light, the image sensor inside the imaging device 40 converts the light signal into an electrical signal and generates a digital image consistent with the magnified image observed by the user through the eyepiece 30.

[0034] Thus, users can simultaneously observe magnified details of electronic components in real time through eyepiece 30 while capturing and saving these magnified images through imaging device 40. For example, when a user finds a magnified image that needs to be recorded, they can immediately press the capture button to record the magnified image for subsequent analysis or reporting. Throughout the process, objective lens 20 is responsible for the initial light collection and magnification, while the optical transmission unit is key to achieving light splitting, ensuring that both eyepiece 30 and imaging device 40 can receive the magnified light. Eyepiece 30 and imaging device 40 respectively provide the functions of observation and recording.

[0035] This application integrates an imaging device 40 and an optical transmission unit into a microscope magnifying glass 100. The optical transmission unit can simultaneously distribute the light magnified by the objective lens 20 to the eyepiece 30 and the imaging device 40, thereby achieving simultaneous observation and recording. This allows users to complete both observation and recording tasks on a single device, improving the usability of the microscope magnifying glass 100. Compared to a desktop electron microscope, the microscope magnifying glass of this application is more compact, lightweight, and portable.

[0036] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing 10 is provided with a first mounting cavity, and the optical transmission unit includes a beam splitter 51 mounted in the first mounting cavity. The beam splitter 51 is used to split the incident light into a transmitted beam and a reflected beam, so that one of the transmitted beam and the reflected beam can be directed toward the lens end of the imaging device 40 and the other can be directed toward the eyepiece 30.

[0037] The first mounting cavity is a specific space reserved inside the housing 10. Its function is to provide a precise and stable mounting position for the beam splitter 51, ensuring the accurate positioning of the beam splitter 51 in the optical path and preventing displacement of optical components due to external impacts or vibrations, thereby guaranteeing the stability and accuracy of optical path transmission. In addition to the prefabricated cavity, the first mounting cavity can also be realized by setting an adjustable mounting bracket or modular slot inside the housing 10 to adapt to the installation requirements of beam splitters 51 of different sizes or types.

[0038] The optical transmission unit is a collection of components responsible for guiding light from the objective lens 20 to the eyepiece 30 and the imaging device 40. The beam splitter 51 is the core component of this unit, and its function is to split the incident light into two or more beams according to a preset ratio. The beam splitter 51 installed in the first mounting cavity can be a prism-type beam splitter 51, such as a beam splitting cube formed by bonding two right-angle prisms 53 together, with a semi-transparent and semi-reflective coating on the bonding surface; or it can be a flat beam splitter 51, that is, a piece of optical glass coated with a special film that can achieve a specific ratio of beam splitting of the incident light.

[0039] The introduction of beam splitter 51 is key to achieving optical path splitting, allowing a single incident light to simultaneously serve different output paths. The core function of beam splitter 51 lies in its beam-splitting characteristics. When light is incident on the semi-transparent, semi-reflective surface of beam splitter 51, part of the light penetrates the beam splitter 51 to form a transmitted beam, while the other part is reflected to form a reflected beam. This beam-splitting mechanism is based on the interference principle of optical thin films or the principle of total internal reflection. The intensity ratio of the transmitted and reflected beams can be controlled by adjusting the coating parameters of beam splitter 51, for example, it can be designed as 50:50, 30:70, or 70:30, to meet the brightness requirements for visual observation and imaging in different application scenarios.

[0040] After the beam splitter 51 splits the incident light into two paths, it is necessary to ensure that these two light rays can accurately reach the lens end of the imaging device 40 and the eyepiece 30, respectively. For example, the transmitted light beam can be directly directed to the lens end of the imaging device 40, while the reflected light beam is guided to the eyepiece 30 through other optical elements (such as the reflector 52 or prism 53); and vice versa.

[0041] When external light passes through the objective lens 20 and enters the housing 10, it is first guided to the optical transmission unit. The core of the optical transmission unit is the beam splitter 51, which is installed in the first mounting cavity. This beam splitter 51 receives the incident light from the objective lens 20 and, using its optical properties, precisely splits the incident light into two beams: a transmitted beam and a reflected beam. The beam splitter 51 is designed to ensure that one of the transmitted and reflected beams is accurately directed to the lens of the imaging device 40 for image capture, while the other is guided to the eyepiece 30 for real-time visual observation by the user. In this way, the microscope magnifier 100 can simultaneously present the same magnified image to both the observer and the imaging device 40, greatly enhancing the practicality and functionality of the device.

[0042] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the optical transmission unit also includes a reflector 52 mounted in the first mounting cavity, which is used to reflect the light emitted from the objective lens 20 to the beam splitter 51.

[0043] The reflector 52 is an optical element whose main function is to change the direction of light propagation using the law of reflection. The reflector 52 can take various forms; for example, it can be a flat glass substrate with a metal film (such as aluminum or silver) coated on its surface, or a flat optical element with multiple dielectric films coated on its surface to achieve high reflectivity. The reflector 52 is fixed within a pre-set first mounting cavity inside the housing 10. This fixing method can be achieved through mechanical clamps, adhesives, or screws to ensure that the reflector 52 maintains a precise and stable position when the microscope magnifier 100 is in operation. The core function of the reflector 52 is to accurately reflect the light emitted from the objective lens 20 to the beam splitter 51, thereby optimizing the optical path.

[0044] External light enters the housing 10 through the objective lens 20 and is magnified. The light emitted from the objective lens 20 is first received by the reflecting mirror 52. The reflecting mirror 52 can accurately reflect the light from the objective lens 20 onto the incident surface of the beam splitter 51, ensuring that the propagation direction of the light is effectively guided and corrected before entering the beam splitter 51, avoiding scattering, attenuation, or path deviation of the light during transmission. Based on this, the beam splitter 51 can receive high-quality, high-brightness incident light, thereby more efficiently and accurately splitting the light into transmitted and reflected beams, which are then guided to the imaging device 40 and the eyepiece 30, respectively.

[0045] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the housing 10 is also provided with a second mounting cavity that communicates with the first mounting cavity. The second mounting cavity is located on the light-incident side of the eyepiece 30. The optical transmission unit also includes a prism 53 mounted in the second mounting cavity. The prism 53 is used to receive the reflected light beam from the beam splitter 51 and reflect the reflected light beam to the eyepiece 30.

[0046] The second mounting cavity is a space inside the housing 10 specifically designed to accommodate specific optical elements. It communicates with the first mounting cavity to ensure that the optical path can smoothly enter the second mounting cavity from the first mounting cavity. The second mounting cavity can be a structure integrally formed inside the housing 10, or it can be assembled from modular components. Its shape and size can be customized according to the needs of the internal optical elements, such as being designed as a channel with a specific angle or a structure with a fixing groove.

[0047] The second mounting cavity can guide light directly or through the shortest path to the light-incident end of the eyepiece 30. Specifically, the light-outcident port of the second mounting cavity can be closely aligned with the light-incident surface of the eyepiece 30, or connected through a short optical channel, to minimize the scattering and loss of light during transmission and ensure that light can enter the eyepiece 30 efficiently and accurately.

[0048] Prism 53 is an optical element that uses the principles of light refraction and total internal reflection to change the direction of light propagation. Different types of prisms 53 can be selected according to specific optical path design requirements, such as right-angle prisms 53, roof prisms 53, or Amish prisms 53, to achieve precise deflection or reversal of the light beam. The fixing methods for prism 53 can include, but are not limited to, optical adhesive bonding, mechanical clamping, or snap-fit ​​fixing to ensure its positional stability and precise alignment of the optical axis within the second mounting cavity.

[0049] Prism 53 receives the reflected light beam from the beam splitter 51 within the first mounting cavity through one or more of its optical surfaces, and uses the principle of total internal reflection or refraction within it to precisely reflect the beam at a predetermined angle and direction, allowing it to accurately enter the incident light side of eyepiece 30. Both the incident and exit surfaces of prism 53 undergo precise optical processing to ensure the transmission quality and directional accuracy of the light beam, thereby ensuring that eyepiece 30 can receive a clear, focused image.

[0050] When light from objective lens 20 enters the first mounting cavity and is split by beam splitter 51, one of the reflected beams does not directly strike eyepiece 30. Instead, it first enters a second mounting cavity that communicates with the first mounting cavity. Through the reflection of prism 53 within the second mounting cavity, the reflected beam is accurately guided to the light-receiving end of eyepiece 30. This design ensures that eyepiece 30 can receive high-quality, high-brightness images, thus significantly improving the observation effect.

[0051] For example, such as Figure 2and Figure 3 As shown, the second mounting cavity is located above the first mounting cavity, and the optical axis of the objective lens 20 is set at an angle to the optical axis of the eyepiece 30, so that the optical axis of the objective lens 20 is deflected obliquely downward relative to the optical axis of the eyepiece 30.

[0052] Placing the second mounting cavity above the first mounting cavity means that the two cavities are spatially misaligned in the vertical direction. This provides the necessary spatial basis for the vertical folding and layout of the optical path, ensuring the rational arrangement of optical components. This vertical positional relationship can be achieved through the integrated molding design of the housing 10, or it can be constructed by vertically stacking or connecting independent cavity modules.

[0053] The optical axis is the center line of light propagation in an optical system. In a conventional microscope magnifier 100, the optical axes of the objective lens 20 and the eyepiece 30 are usually parallel or collinear. In this design, there is a non-zero angle between the optical axis of the objective lens 20 and the optical axis of the eyepiece 30. This angle can be achieved by designing an inclined mounting structure for the objective lens 20 and the eyepiece 30 inside the housing 10, or by using a reflective element in the optical transmission unit to deflect the light path, thereby making the physical optical axes of the objective lens 20 and the eyepiece 30 form a specific angle.

[0054] When a user observes through eyepiece 30, the objective lens 20 is tilted downwards relative to the line of sight of eyepiece 30. This tilting direction is key to achieving ergonomic optimization, allowing the user to aim the objective lens 20 at the object without excessive bending or looking down, thus maintaining a more natural and comfortable observation posture.

[0055] When light enters the microscope magnifying glass 100 from the objective lens 20, it is first split by the beam splitter 51. One path of light (e.g., a reflected beam) is guided to the prism 53 located in the upper second mounting cavity. The prism 53 utilizes its optical properties to refract the received light and precisely reflect it to the eyepiece 30. By carefully designing the upper position of the second mounting cavity and the mounting angle of the prism 53, the observation direction of the objective lens 20 can be tilted downwards, while the eyepiece 30 remains at a comfortable observation height and angle for the user. This optical path design allows the user to aim the objective lens 20 at the object to be observed without significantly adjusting their head or body posture, thus significantly improving the ergonomics and user experience of the device while maintaining optical performance.

[0056] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the imaging device 40 is located below the first mounting cavity, with the lens end of the imaging device 40 facing the first mounting cavity to receive the transmitted light beam from the beam splitter 51.

[0057] The imaging device 40 can be a CMOS or CCD image sensor module built into the housing 10 of the microscope magnifier 100, which integrates a miniature lens and necessary image processing circuitry. As another possible implementation, the imaging device 40 can also be a detachable digital camera unit that connects to the housing 10 of the microscope magnifier 100 via a standard interface (such as a threaded interface or snap-fit) and has independent power supply and storage functions.

[0058] The transmitted beam refers to the portion of light that passes directly through the beam splitter 51 after passing through it and continues to propagate in its original direction or a slightly deflected direction. This portion of light is designated for subsequent imaging. The imaging device 40 is located below the first mounting cavity, allowing it to be positioned below the beam splitter 51, thus providing a direct optical path for receiving the transmitted beam propagating downwards from the beam splitter 51. By aligning the lens of the imaging device 40 upwards with the first mounting cavity, it is ensured that its lens can directly receive the transmitted beam from the beam splitter 51 within the first mounting cavity, thereby forming a clear image.

[0059] When external light enters the housing 10 through the objective lens 20, it enters the optical transmission unit and is split into a transmitted beam and a reflected beam at the beam splitter 51 in the first mounting cavity. The reflected beam is received by the prism 53 in the second mounting cavity and reflected to the eyepiece 30 for visual observation by the user. Meanwhile, the transmitted beam continues to propagate downwards. The transmitted beam enters the lens of the imaging device 40 in the most direct and perpendicular manner, thereby minimizing scattering, reflection loss, and alignment errors during transmission. In this way, the imaging device 40 can efficiently and accurately capture the magnified image from the objective lens 20, ensuring high quality and stability of the captured image. Furthermore, positioning the imaging device 40 below the microscope magnifier 100 helps optimize the device's center of gravity, improves stability during handheld operation, and enhances the user experience.

[0060] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the housing 10 is also provided with a third mounting cavity that communicates with the first mounting cavity. The third mounting cavity is located below the first mounting cavity, and the imaging device 40 is located on one side of the third mounting cavity. The imaging end of the imaging device 40 faces the third mounting cavity. The optical transmission unit also includes a reflector 54 installed in the third mounting cavity. The reflector 54 is used to receive the transmitted light beam from the beam splitter 51 and reflect the transmitted light beam to the imaging device 40.

[0061] The third mounting cavity is a space specifically designed within the housing 10 to accommodate specific optical elements and / or the imaging device 40. Its function is to provide additional internal space for optimizing the optical path layout and component mounting. As one possible implementation, the third mounting cavity can be a one-piece molded structure, formed directly during the injection molding or die casting of the housing 10. Alternatively, the third mounting cavity can be a separately manufactured cavity module, fixed inside the housing 10 by screws, clips, or adhesives, and communicating with the first mounting cavity.

[0062] The third mounting cavity is located below the first mounting cavity, providing a spatial basis for light to be transmitted downwards from the first mounting cavity, allowing the transmitted light beam to naturally enter the cavity. Specifically, the opening or main body of the third mounting cavity can be positioned directly below or slightly below the first mounting cavity through the internal structural design of the housing 10. Alternatively, a vertical guide rail or bracket can be provided inside the housing 10 to mount the third mounting cavity module below the first mounting cavity.

[0063] The lateral position of the imaging device 40 within the third mounting cavity is designed to provide a relatively independent and easily operable mounting space for the imaging device 40, while also providing a target position for the light reflected by the reflector 54. For example, the imaging device 40 can be mounted on the side wall of the third mounting cavity using a slot, screws, or other means. Alternatively, the imaging device 40 can be mounted on a movable bracket fixed to the side of the third mounting cavity, allowing for fine-tuning of the imaging device 40.

[0064] The imaging end of the imaging device 40 faces the third mounting cavity, ensuring that the photosensitive element of the imaging device 40 is directly aligned with the reflected light beam from the mirror 54, thereby accurately capturing an image. Specifically, the lens or photosensitive surface of the imaging device 40 can directly face the interior space of the third mounting cavity. Alternatively, the imaging device 40 can extend into the third mounting cavity via a short focal length lens, with its imaging end aligned with the light path.

[0065] A reflector 54 is an optical element, typically with a highly reflective surface, used to change the direction of light propagation. Its function is to receive transmitted light beams from above and reflect them to the side-facing imaging device 40, thereby deflecting the light path and optimizing the light path layout. In one specific implementation, the reflector 54 can be a plane mirror 52, such as a silver-plated or aluminum-plated glass lens, fixed in the third mounting cavity by a bracket. In another specific implementation, the reflector 54 can be a prism 53, such as a right-angle prism 53 or a roof prism 53, utilizing the principle of total internal reflection to deflect light, and fixed in the third mounting cavity.

[0066] The reflector 54 precisely guides the downward-propagating transmitted light beam to the side-mounted imaging device 40, ensuring that the imaging device 40 can receive complete image information. For example, the reflector 54 can be mounted at a 45-degree angle in the third mounting cavity, so that the vertically incident transmitted light beam can be reflected horizontally and directed towards the side-mounted imaging device 40. In addition, the reflector 54 can also be designed with an adjustable angle structure to fine-tune the reflection direction during assembly or calibration, ensuring that the light beam is accurately focused on the imaging end of the imaging device 40.

[0067] When external light enters the housing 10 through the objective lens 20, it first encounters the beam splitter 51 in the optical transmission unit. The beam splitter 51 splits the incident light into a transmitted beam and a reflected beam. The reflected beam is guided to the eyepiece 30 for human observation, while the transmitted beam continues to propagate downwards. The reflector 54, installed in the third mounting cavity, receives the transmitted beam from above, deflects it, and reflects it to the imaging end of the imaging device 40 located on one side of the third mounting cavity. In this way, the imaging device 40 does not need to be directly below the optical path, thus avoiding the problem of optical path limitation and greatly increasing the flexibility of device layout.

[0068] For example, the intensity ratio of the transmitted beam to the reflected beam of the beam splitter 51 is 3:7.

[0069] The intensity ratio of the transmitted beam to the reflected beam refers to the relative proportion of light energy or power carried by the transmitted and reflected beams after passing through the beam splitter 51. This ratio is one of the core optical parameters of the beam splitter 51, directly determining the light intensity along different paths in the optical path. For example, a 3:7 intensity ratio means that approximately 30% of the intensity of the incident light is transmitted, while approximately 70% is reflected. This specific intensity ratio can be achieved in various ways. For instance, it can be achieved by depositing a multilayer dielectric film of specific thickness and refractive index on the surface of the beam splitter 51. These films can precisely control the transmission and reflection ratios of different wavelengths of light. Alternatively, the desired light distribution effect can be achieved by selecting materials with specific absorption or reflection properties, or by adjusting the geometry and incident angle of the beam splitter 51.

[0070] Approximately 30% of the intensity of the incident light is transmitted, while approximately 70% is reflected. This distribution mechanism ensures that the transmitted light beam directed towards the imaging device 40 has a relatively low but sufficient intensity for effective imaging, thus effectively preventing overexposure of the image caused by excessive light. Simultaneously, the reflected light beam directed towards the eyepiece 30 receives a relatively high light intensity, ensuring that the observer receives sufficient light when visually observing through the eyepiece 30, resulting in a clear and bright magnified image and avoiding blurry observations. Through this precise light intensity distribution, the microscope magnifier 100 of this application can simultaneously meet the different light intensity requirements of both the imaging device 40 and the eyepiece 30, optimizing overall image quality and user experience. This ratio setting is based on a comprehensive consideration of the photosensitive characteristics of the imaging device 40 and the visual comfort of the human eye, ensuring that both output paths achieve optimal imaging or observation effects.

[0071] For example, the shooting device 40 is provided with a data transmission module, which is used to provide an electrical or communication connection to the display device so that the display device can receive and display the images captured by the shooting device 40.

[0072] The data transmission module can be implemented using various technologies. For example, it can be a module that supports Wi-Fi or Bluetooth wireless communication and establishes a connection with the display device through a wireless protocol; or it can be a module that integrates USB, HDMI or Ethernet interfaces and makes an electrical connection with the display device through a wired connection.

[0073] A display device is an external device capable of receiving and presenting visual information. This device can be a smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop monitor, or dedicated portable display screen, equipped with corresponding interfaces and software applications. It can receive and decode image data from a data transmission module and display it. The data transmission module establishes a physical or logical connection with the display device. Electrical connections typically refer to direct physical connections via cables (such as USB or HDMI cables) to transmit data and / or power; communication connections typically refer to non-physical contact connections via radio waves (such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) to transmit data packets.

[0074] When the microscope magnifying lens 100, capable of capturing magnified images, is operational, the objective lens 20 receives external light and transmits it to the lens end of the imaging device 40 via the optical transmission unit. The imaging device 40 then captures and generates digital image data of the magnified image. Subsequently, the data transmission module within the imaging device 40 is activated, establishing a stable electrical or communication connection with an external display device according to a preset connection method (e.g., the user selects a wireless connection or inserts a wired connection). Once the connection is established, the data transmission module transmits the digital image data generated by the imaging device 40 to the display device in real time or on demand. After receiving this image data, the display device decodes and renders it through its internal image processing unit, ultimately presenting the magnified image clearly to the user.

[0075] By integrating a data transmission module into the imaging device 40 of the microscope magnifier 100, magnified images that were originally limited to internal processing or storage can be conveniently transmitted to an external display device for real-time viewing and operation. This solves the problem that images captured by the traditional microscope magnifier 100 cannot be displayed externally. Furthermore, it enables the magnified images captured by the microscope magnifier 100 to be used more extensively, such as for remote collaborative observation, teaching demonstrations, data recording and analysis, greatly expanding the application scenarios and functionality of the microscope magnifier 100.

[0076] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also proposes a binocular magnifying glass capable of capturing magnified images. This binocular magnifying glass includes a wearable main body 200 and a microscopic magnifying lens 100 capable of capturing magnified images. The specific structure of the microscopic magnifying lens 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this binocular magnifying glass adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it possesses at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated upon here. The wearable main body 200 includes a wearable frame 210 and a lens 220 mounted on the wearable frame 210, and the microscopic magnifying lens 100 is mounted on the lens 220.

[0077] The wearable frame 210 serves as a support structure, suitable for stable wear on the user's head, ensuring the stability and comfort of the device during operation. The wearable frame 210 can be an eyeglass frame or a headband. The lens 220 is fixed to the wearable frame 210, forming an optical window for the user's vision and providing a basic observation path. The microscope magnifying lens 100, capable of capturing magnified images, is fixed to the lens 220 through a precision mounting structure, ensuring precise alignment of the optical axis of the microscope magnifying lens 100 with the lens 220, thereby seamlessly transmitting the magnified image to the user's eyes and achieving binocular observation functionality.

[0078] For example, there are two lenses 220, and each lens 220 is equipped with a microscope magnifying glass 100. The binocular magnifying glass also includes a display device, which is electrically or communicatively connected to the imaging device 40 of the two microscope magnifying glasses 100 to receive image data captured by the two imaging devices 40. The display device is equipped with an image fusion module, which is used to fuse the two images from the two imaging devices 40 respectively, so that the display device can display the fused image.

[0079] Each observation channel of the binocular magnifying glass has independent magnification and imaging capabilities, enabling the acquisition of magnified images from different perspectives. The microscope magnifying glass 100 can be mounted on the lens 220 via a detachable or adjustable structure for easy maintenance or adjustment according to user needs.

[0080] The display device serves as the interface for users to obtain visual information, avoiding the need for users to observe two separate image sources. The display device can be a miniature display screen, such as an OLED or LCD screen, integrated into the wearable device 200 and located directly in front of the user. Alternatively, it can be an external display, such as a smartphone, tablet, or dedicated monitor, connected via cable or wirelessly.

[0081] The display device is electrically or communicatively connected to the imaging device 40 of the two microscopes 100 to ensure that image data can be transmitted from the imaging device 40 to the display device in real time and reliably. The electrical connection can be wired, such as via USB, HDMI, or other dedicated data cables, to ensure data transmission stability and bandwidth. The communication connection can be wireless, such as via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or other wireless communication protocols, to improve the portability and flexibility of the device.

[0082] One of the functions of the display device is to acquire raw image information from two independent imaging devices 40. This image data forms the basis for subsequent fusion processing. The display device can have a built-in image data receiving interface and corresponding driving circuitry to ensure compatibility with the output formats of different imaging devices 40. The display device can also use a software protocol stack to parse and process the received image data stream, ensuring the correctness and integrity of the data.

[0083] The image fusion module is responsible for processing images from two independent viewpoints to eliminate the defects of separated views. The image fusion module can be a standalone hardware chip or a processing unit integrated into the main control chip of the display device. Alternatively, the image fusion module can be implemented using software algorithms, running on the display device's processor to process the received image data in real time.

[0084] The image fusion module combines two independent images into a single, coherent stereoscopic view through specific algorithms and processing procedures. Image fusion can employ various techniques, such as feature-matching-based image registration, stereoscopic image synthesis algorithms (e.g., disparity map generation, depth information fusion), or multi-view image stitching techniques. Image fusion can also adjust parameters such as brightness, contrast, and color balance of the images and perform geometric corrections to ensure visual consistency and comfort in the fused image.

[0085] The ultimate goal of image fusion is to present the fused image on a display device. This fused image provides a more immersive and three-dimensional visual experience. The display device can directly drive the display panel to display the image based on the fused image data. The display device can also further optimize the fused image, such as sharpening, noise reduction, or color enhancement, to improve the final display effect.

[0086] By mounting microscopic magnifiers 100 on the two lenses 220 of a binocular magnifying lens, and receiving image data from two imaging devices 40 via a display device, these images are then fused by an image fusion module. The fused image is then displayed on the display device, providing the user with a unified, coherent, and three-dimensional visual experience. This centralized image processing and display method avoids the hassle of processing two separate images, significantly improving observation comfort and efficiency. It provides a more immersive and natural observation experience, especially in scenarios requiring prolonged and detailed observation.

[0087] Compared to traditional 3D external viewing glasses, the binocular magnifying glass of this application can be mounted on a head-mounted bracket to meet the first-person perspective shooting requirements at different angles, or it can be mounted on a fixed bracket in front of the operating table for shooting, allowing doctors to perform surgery while looking at a stereoscopic image on the screen, thus improving ease of use.

[0088] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
