Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an ophthalmic apparatus equipped with a hole speculum and a hole speculum. [Background technology]

[0002] An ophthalmic apparatus for photographing the fundus of a subject's eye is known. This ophthalmic apparatus includes an objective lens, an illumination optical system that emits illumination light, and an imaging optical system that guides return light from the subject's eye, illuminated by the illumination light through the objective lens, to an imaging device. The illumination optical system of the ophthalmic apparatus is connected midway through the imaging optical system. The illumination light emitted from this illumination optical system is incident on the subject's eye via a part of the imaging optical system and the objective lens (see Patent Document 1). For this reason, a hole mirror is provided at the position where the illumination optical system connects to the imaging optical system, which reflects the illumination light incident from the illumination optical system toward the objective lens and allows the return light from the subject's eye to pass through or be transmitted.

[0003] In such ophthalmic devices, if reflected or scattered light returning from the cornea and crystalline lens is guided to the photographing optical system, it can cause flare in the photographed image of the fundus. Therefore, for example, the perforated mirror described in Patent Document 1 is composed of a plate-shaped transparent member and a reflective film formed (deposited) on the surface of this transparent member. This reflective film has a circular opening when viewed from the optical axis direction of the photographing optical system. This opening functions as a photographing diaphragm. This eliminates the need to separately attach a cylindrical photographing diaphragm to the perforated mirror, preventing the reflection or scattering of returned light on the inner wall surface of this photographing diaphragm. As a result, the occurrence of flare can be suppressed. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2024-024812 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the hole mirror described in Patent Document 1, the returning light passes through the transparent member through the opening in the reflective film, which may result in multiple reflections of the returning light on the front and back surfaces of the transparent member. As a result, there is still a risk of flare occurring in the captured image. In addition, in the hole mirror described in Patent Document 1, the illumination light incident from the illumination optical system is reflected toward the subject's eye (objective lens) by the entire area of ​​the reflective film excluding the opening, which may result in excess illumination light entering the subject's eye. In this case, there is also a risk of flare occurring in the captured image.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide an ophthalmic apparatus and a borescope that can further suppress the occurrence of flare. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] An ophthalmic apparatus for achieving the object of the present invention comprises an illumination optical system and an imaging optical system, in which the illumination optical system causes illumination light to be incident on the subject's eye through a part of the imaging optical system, and the imaging optical system directs returned light from the subject's eye onto which the illumination light has been incident to an imaging device.The ophthalmic apparatus comprises: a hole mirror provided at a position where the illumination optical system is connected to the imaging optical system, the hole mirror having a reflective surface capable of reflecting illumination light incident from the illumination optical system toward the subject's eye and a hole portion through which the returned light passes; and a perforated portion provided on the reflective surface and having a passing opening through which the returned light passes.

[0008] According to this ophthalmic apparatus, the passage opening functions as a photographing diaphragm, thereby making it possible to suppress the occurrence of flare.

[0009] In the ophthalmic apparatus according to another aspect of the present invention, the passage opening has an elliptical shape when viewed from the normal direction of the reflecting surface and a circular shape when viewed from the optical axis direction of the photographing optical system, thereby allowing the passage opening to function as a photographing diaphragm.

[0010] In the ophthalmic apparatus according to another aspect of the present invention, the passage opening is smaller than the opening of the hole formed in the reflective surface, thereby preventing reflection and scattering of returning light at the periphery of the opening of the hole, thereby suppressing the occurrence of flare.

[0011] In another aspect of the ophthalmic device of the present invention, when the opening of a hole formed on the reflecting surface is used as the entrance opening and the opening of a hole formed on the surface opposite the reflecting surface of the hole mirror is used as the exit opening, the inner wall surface of the hole has a tapered shape in which the opening diameter of the exit opening is larger than the opening diameter of the entrance opening.

[0012] In the ophthalmic apparatus according to another aspect of the present invention, the angle of inclination of the inner wall surface relative to the optical axis of the photographing optical system is larger than the angle of incidence of the returning light incident on the hole mirror, thereby preventing the returning light from being reflected and scattered by the inner wall surface of the hole, thereby suppressing the occurrence of flare.

[0013] In the ophthalmologic apparatus according to another aspect of the present invention, the central axis of the hole is approximately parallel to the normal direction of the reflecting surface, thereby improving the workability of the hole.

[0014] In the ophthalmologic apparatus according to another aspect of the present invention, the central axis of the hole is inclined with respect to the normal direction of the reflecting surface and is substantially parallel to the optical axis direction of the photographing optical system.

[0015] In an ophthalmic apparatus according to another aspect of the present invention, the perforated mirror and the perforated portion are integrally formed.

[0016] A hole mirror for achieving the object of the present invention is provided in an ophthalmic device which comprises an illumination optical system and an imaging optical system, in which the illumination optical system causes illumination light to be incident on the subject's eye through a part of the imaging optical system, and the imaging optical system directs returned light from the subject's eye onto which the illumination light has been incident to an imaging device.The hole mirror is provided at a position where the illumination optical system connects to the imaging optical system, and is provided with: a reflective surface which can reflect illumination light incident from the illumination optical system towards the subject's eye; a hole portion through which the returned light passes; and a perforated portion provided on the reflective surface which has a passing opening through which the returned light passes. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] The present invention can further suppress the occurrence of flare. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0019] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of the optical system of an ophthalmic apparatus 10. Of the mutually orthogonal X, Y, and Z directions in Fig. 1, the Z direction is the direction of the main optical axis of the ophthalmic apparatus 10 (the direction of the optical axis OB described below), the X direction is the left-right direction relative to the subject or examiner, and the Y direction is the up-down direction.

[0020] 1, an ophthalmic apparatus 10 photographs the fundus Ef of the subject's eye E using a known slit scan method (see Patent Document 1). The ophthalmic apparatus 10 includes a light source 11, an illumination optical system 12, an imaging optical system 20 including an objective lens 18, and an imaging device 24. Note that the symbol OA indicates the optical axis of the illumination optical system 12, and the symbol OB indicates the optical axis of the imaging optical system 20 (objective lens 18).

[0021] The light source 11 is disposed at a position optically non-conjugate with the fundus oculi Ef and the iris, and emits illumination light. Note that there are no particular limitations on the type of light source 11 and illumination light (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0022] The illumination optical system 12 is connected midway through the photographing optical system 20, which will be described later, and guides illumination light emitted from the light source 11 to a hole mirror 21 of the photographing optical system 20. The illumination optical system 12 includes an iris diaphragm 13, a slit aperture diaphragm 14, a relay lens 15, an optical scanner 16, and a relay lens 17.

[0023] The iris diaphragm 13 is disposed, for example, at a position that is optically approximately conjugate with the iris (pupil) of the subject's eye E. The iris diaphragm 13 has one or more openings formed therein that allow the illumination light emitted from the light source 11 to pass through.

[0024] The slit aperture stop 14 is disposed at a position that is approximately optically conjugate with the fundus Ef. A slit is formed in the slit aperture stop 14. Illumination light that passes through the slit aperture stop 14 becomes, for example, slit-shaped illumination light (slit light) parallel to the X direction at the fundus position (or fundus conjugate position) when focused by an objective lens 18 (described later). The slit aperture stop 14 is provided so as to be movable along the optical axis OA (optical path of the illumination light) by an actuator (not shown).

[0025] The relay lens 15 transmits the illumination light that has passed through the slit of the slit aperture stop 14 .

[0026] The optical scanner 16 is a deflection mechanism such as a galvanometer mirror, a resonant mirror, a polygon mirror, or a MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems), and is disposed at a position that is approximately optically conjugate with the iris of the subject's eye E. The optical scanner 16 one-dimensionally deflects (or two-dimensionally deflects) the illumination light that has passed through the relay lens 15 and guides it to the relay lens 17. During slit scan imaging, the optical scanner 16 deflects the illumination light (slit light) parallel to the X direction in the Y direction.

[0027] The relay lens 17 transmits the illumination light incident from the optical scanner 16. The illumination light that has transmitted through the relay lens 17 is incident on the hole mirror 21. As a result, the illumination light emitted from the light source 11 is guided to the hole mirror 21 by the illumination optical system 12, and then incident on the subject's eye E via a part of the imaging optical system 20 (the hole mirror 21 and the objective lens 18).

[0028] The objective lens 18 irradiates a part of the fundus Ef with illumination light incident from the aperture mirror 21 through the anterior segment Ea (pupil) of the subject's eye E. At this time, the illumination light is deflected in the Y direction by the optical scanner 16 described above, so that the fundus Ef is scanned in the Y direction with illumination light (slit light) parallel to the X direction. Then, while the illumination light is being scanned, return light from the fundus Ef illuminated by the illumination light enters the photographing optical system 20 (objective lens 18).

[0029] The photographing optical system 20 guides the returning light from the subject's eye E to the imaging device 24. The photographing optical system 20 includes an objective lens 18, a hole mirror 21, a focusing lens 22, and a lens 23 arranged along an optical axis OB.

[0030] 2 is a diagram showing an example of the mounting structure of the hole mirror 21. As shown in FIG. 2 and the above-described FIG. 1, the hole mirror 21 is provided at a position where the illumination optical system 12 connects to the photographing optical system 20. For example, in this embodiment, the optical path of the photographing optical system 20 is formed at one end of the cylindrical section 27 that houses the relay lens 17 and the like. The hole mirror 21 is mounted to one end of the cylindrical section 27 via a mounting plate 28 so that the hole mirror 21 is positioned in a predetermined orientation on the optical path of the photographing optical system 20.

[0031] The hole mirror 21 reflects the illumination light incident from the illumination optical system 12 (relay lens 17) toward the objective lens 18 (eye E to be inspected). As a result, as described above, the illumination light is incident on the eye E to be inspected via the objective lens 18. The hole mirror 21 also has a hole 32 that passes the return light from the eye E to be inspected that is incident from the objective lens 18. Therefore, the return light passes through this hole 32 and enters the focusing lens 22. The detailed structure of the hole mirror 21 will be described later.

[0032] 1, the position of the focusing lens 22 can be adjusted in the direction of the optical axis OB by a lens movement mechanism (not shown). This allows the returning light that has passed through the hole 32 to be imaged on the light receiving surface of an image sensor 25 of the imaging device 24 (described later). Furthermore, the lens 23 transmits the returning light that has entered from the focusing lens 22. This allows the photographing optical system 20 to guide the returning light to the imaging device 24.

[0033] The imaging device 24 includes an imaging element 25 that receives the return light incident from the imaging optical system 20. The imaging element 25 has a light-receiving surface onto which the return light is incident. The imaging element 25 has a rolling shutter function that captures the return light while shifting the timing of the start and end of exposure for each region (including each pixel and each line) within the light-receiving surface. As a result, during slit scan imaging, the imaging element 25 uses the rolling shutter function to capture the return light of the illumination light moving within the fundus Ef, and outputs an imaging signal of the return light to a control device (not shown) (see Patent Document 1 above). Then, a captured image of the fundus Ef is generated in this control device.

[0034] In Fig. 3, reference numeral 3A is a front view of hole mirror 21 as seen from one side in the Z direction (the side of objective lens 18), reference numeral 3B is a cross-sectional view of hole mirror 21, and reference numeral 3C is a rear view of hole mirror 21 as seen from the other side in the Z direction (the side of focusing lens 22). Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of hole mirror 21. Fig. 5 is a front view of hole mirror 21 as seen from the normal direction of reflecting surface 30.

[0035] As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the hole mirror 21 is formed in a substantially circular disk shape from glass, for example. One surface of the hole mirror 21 is a reflecting surface 30 (mirror surface) that can reflect illumination light incident from the relay lens 17 of the illumination optical system 12 toward the objective lens 18. The hole mirror 21 also has the hole 32 (through hole) described above. The central axis C of the hole 32 is parallel to the normal direction of the reflecting surface 30. The hole mirror 21 is attached to the tube portion 27 (see Figure 2) in an inclined position where the central axis C of the hole 32 is inclined with respect to the optical axes OA and OB. The hole mirror 21 may be formed from a material other than glass.

[0036] An entrance opening 32a, which is an opening on one side of the hole 32, is formed on the reflecting surface 30. An exit opening 32b, which is an opening on the other side of the hole 32, is formed on the back surface 31 opposite the reflecting surface 30 of the hole mirror 21.

[0037] The inner wall surface of hole 32 is formed in a tapered shape in which the opening diameter D2 of exit opening 32b is larger than the opening diameter D1 of entrance opening 32a (see FIG. 4). The "tapered shape" here is not limited to a shape in which the inner diameter of hole 32 increases continuously from entrance opening 32a to exit opening 32b, but also includes, for example, a shape in which the inner diameter of hole 32 increases stepwise (such as a staircase shape). The inclination angle θ of the inner wall surface of hole 32 (see FIG. 6) will be described later.

[0038] The perforated mirror 21 is provided with a mechanical mask 40 (corresponding to the perforated portion of the present invention) which is a light-shielding mask that covers its reflecting surface 30. The mechanical mask 40 is formed from any material with light-shielding properties and has a thickness of, for example, 0.03 mm. The mechanical mask 40 has three adhesive holes 41, one light-passing hole 42 (corresponding to the light-passing opening of the present invention), and two exposure windows 43 (also called exposure openings) formed therein.

[0039] The three adhesive holes 41 are formed at any position facing the reflecting surface 30 (positions not facing the entrance opening 32a). An adhesive (not shown) is poured into each adhesive hole 41. This adhesively fixes the mechanical mask 40 to the reflecting surface 30. The number of adhesive holes 41 is not limited to three, and may be one, or four or more. Furthermore, the method of fixing the mechanical mask 40 to the reflecting surface 30 is not limited to adhesive fixation, and any fixing method may be used.

[0040] The light passing hole 42 is formed at a position opposite the entrance opening 32a, and its center coincides (or substantially coincides, the same applies below) with the central axis C. As a result, the return light incident on the hole mirror 21 from the objective lens 18 passes through the light passing hole 42 and the hole portion 32 in this order.

[0041] The light passing hole 42 has an elliptical shape when viewed from the front of the hole mirror 21 in an inclined position, i.e., when viewed from the normal direction of the reflecting surface 30 (the axial direction of the central axis C) (see FIG. 5). When the hole mirror 21 in an inclined position is viewed from the optical axis direction of the optical axis OB, the light passing hole 42 has a circular shape with a diameter of, for example, 2.3 mm (see FIG. 3). The circular shape here refers to a perfect circle or a nearly perfect circle. This allows the light passing hole 42 to function as a photographic aperture.

[0042] In this way, the light passing hole 42 functions as a photographic diaphragm, eliminating the need to separately attach a cylindrical photographic diaphragm to the hole mirror 21, and thus preventing reflection or scattering of returning light on the inner wall surface of this cylindrical photographic diaphragm. As a result, the occurrence of flare (hereinafter simply referred to as flare) in photographed images of the fundus oculi Ef can be suppressed.

[0043] The hole diameter D3 (aperture diameter) of the light passing hole 42 is formed to be slightly smaller than the opening diameter D1 of the entrance opening 32a. Therefore, when the hole mirror 21 is viewed from the normal direction of the reflecting surface 30, the opening edge (edge) of the entrance opening 32a is covered by the opening edge of the light passing hole 42, i.e., the mechanical mask 40. This makes it possible to ease the required precision of position adjustment when fixing the mechanical mask 40 to the reflecting surface 30.

[0044] Furthermore, when forming the hole 32 in the glass hole mirror 21 by tapering, it is difficult to eliminate chips and cracks that occur at the edge of the entrance aperture 32a. Therefore, by covering the edge of the entrance aperture 32a with a mechanical mask 40, unnecessary reflection and scattering of returning light at this opening edge can be prevented. As a result, the occurrence of flare can be suppressed.

[0045] The two exposure windows 43 expose two predetermined reflection regions 30a of a portion of the reflection surface 30. As a result, the reflection surface 30 reflects the illumination light incident from the illumination optical system 12 toward the objective lens 18 only at each reflection region 30a. This prevents excess illumination light from entering the subject's eye E, compared to when the illumination light is reflected from the entire surface (almost the entire surface) of the reflection surface 30. As a result, the occurrence of flare can be suppressed. The number of exposure windows 43 is not limited to two, and may be one, three, or more. The shape and size of the exposure windows 43 can also be changed as appropriate.

[0046] Fig. 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the inclination angle θ of the inner wall surface of the hole 32 with respect to the optical axis OB of the photographing optical system 20. Fig. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the incident angle (φ / 2ω) of the return light (denoted by the symbol L) that enters the hole mirror 21 from the objective lens 18.

[0047] 6 and 7, the tilt angle θ is larger than the angle of incidence of the return light incident from the objective lens 18 to the hole mirror 21. Specifically, if the photographing field angle of the objective lens 18 is "φ" and the lateral magnification of the objective lens 18 (in FIG. 7, the state where the objective lens 18 is focused on the pupil) is "ω", the angle of incidence of the return light is expressed as (φ / 2ω), and therefore the tilt angle θ satisfies the following formula (1).

[0048]

number

[0049] By adjusting the tilt angle θ so as to satisfy the above formula (1), the return light incident on the hole mirror 21 from the objective lens 18 is prevented from entering the inner wall surface of the hole 32. As a result, the return light is prevented from being reflected and scattered on the inner wall surface of the hole 32, thereby suppressing the occurrence of flare.

[0050] As described above, in this embodiment, the reflective surface 30 is covered with the mechanical mask 40, the light passage hole 42 of the mechanical mask 40 functions as a photographic aperture, the diameter of the light passage hole 42 is formed smaller than the diameter of the incident opening 32a, and the illumination light is reflected only by the reflective region 30a, which is a part of the reflective surface 30, thereby suppressing the occurrence of flare. Also, in this embodiment, the inclination angle θ of the inner wall surface of the hole 32 is adjusted to satisfy the above-mentioned formula (1), thereby suppressing the occurrence of flare. As a result, in this embodiment, the occurrence of flare is suppressed more than in the past.

[0051] 8 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a modified example of the hole 32 of the hole mirror 21. In the above embodiment, the central axis C of the hole 32 is parallel to the normal direction of the reflecting surface 30, that is, non-parallel (including approximately parallel, the same applies below) to the optical axis OB. Therefore, in the above embodiment, in a cross section of the hole 32 taken along any plane including the optical axis OB, the inclination angle θ of one of the inner wall surfaces (cross-sectional contour lines) of the hole 32 relative to the optical axis OB and the inclination angle θ of the other inner wall surface (cross-sectional contour lines) of the hole 32 relative to the optical axis OB are asymmetric (non-identical) (see FIG. 6).

[0052] 8, the central axis C of the hole 32 may be inclined with respect to the normal direction of the reflecting surface 30 and made parallel to the optical axis OB. In this case, in a cross section of the hole 32 taken along any plane including the optical axis OB, the inclination angle θ of one of the inner wall surfaces of the hole 32 with respect to the optical axis OB and the inclination angle θ of the other inner wall surface of the hole 32 with respect to the optical axis OB are symmetrical (identical). However, considering the ease of forming the hole 32 in the hole mirror 21, it is preferable to form the hole 32 so that the central axis C is parallel to the normal direction of the reflecting surface 30.

[0053] [others] In the above embodiment, the mechanical mask 40 is provided on the reflecting surface 30 of the perforated mirror 21, but various light-shielding masks other than the mechanical mask 40 (including light-shielding films such as vapor deposition films, coating films, and surface treatment films) may be provided on the reflecting surface 30. In addition, the perforated portion having an opening (light-transmitting area) equivalent to the light-passing hole 42 (and exposure window 43) and the perforated mirror 21 may be integrally formed.

[0054] In the above embodiment, an ophthalmic device 10 (fundus camera) that photographs the fundus Ef by a slit scan method has been described as an example, but the present invention can also be applied to fundus cameras and their combined devices that photograph the fundus Ef by other methods. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to fundus cameras, but can be applied to various known ophthalmic devices that are equipped with a slit speculum. [Explanation of symbols]
