Title: Joerg Sprenger: Innovator in Optical Systems
Introduction
Joerg Sprenger is a notable inventor based in Göttingen, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of optical inspection systems, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing imaging technologies, particularly in microscopy.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is an optical inspection system with a variation system consisting of five lens groups for imaging an object into infinity. This invention is designed to image an object to be inspected with a variable imaging scale. It includes a variation system for imaging the object into infinity, a lens group downstream of the variation system for imaging the object from infinity into the image plane of the whole system, and a light source for generating light to illuminate the object. The system also features means for imaging the illuminating light into the exit pupil of the variation system, which is provided in the airspace between the fifth lens group and the subsequent lens group.
Another significant patent is a wide range zoom system for microscopes. This zoom system includes five lens groups, with the second and fourth lens groups being displaceable in the axial direction relative to the first, third, and fifth lens groups. A stop of variable opening diameter, which is stationary relative to the first, third, and fifth lens groups, is provided between the second and fourth lens groups. The maximum opening diameter of this stop is in middle zoom magnifications, allowing for a non-linear increase in the object-side aperture as magnification increases.
