The invention relates to fluidics as used in medical and diagnostic equipment and relates further to means for purifying, abstracting, filtering, detecting and/or measuring analytes in liquid samples.

Fluidics devices

A method of conducting endoscopic surgeries places the camera outside the sterile field, freeing the physicians hands and eliminating costs and inconveniences associated with sterilizing the camera between surgeries. Images may be relayed to the camera by means of a fiber optic cable. Cost issues associated with the long fiber optic cable are avoided by breaking it into two segments, only one of which is likely to be damaged during use. An image preserving connection is formed between the cable segments by a connector that fixes the ends of the cables in close proximity to one another, but a certain fixed distance apart. An image preserving connection is made between two fiber optic cables without the aide of a lens.

Endoscopic surgical procedures and endoscopic apparatus comprising segmented fiber optic cables

A method and apparatus for non-contact measurement of the precise displacement, movement, and mechanical properties of an eyeball. An optical heterodyne interferometer is provided having a measurement beam and a reference beam. A modulator shifts the frequency of the reference beam. The measurement beam, after reflection from the eyeball, is combined with the reference beam on a heterodyne detector and the relative phase of the reflected beam and reference beam is measured and the ocular displacement is calculated so that physiological properties may be determined.
