A video endoscope for fluorescence imaging, with an elongate shaft and video camera at a distal end. The video camera includes an objective lens system and image acquisition system. The objective lens system configured to receive light and/or reflect from and to transmit the received light towards the image acquisition system. The image acquisition system includes: a beam splitter for splitting light first and second optical beam paths, first and second imaging chips for receiving light transmitted along the first and second beam paths, respectively. The beam splitter, and first and second imaging chips configured to facilitate concurrent acquisition of a white light image obtained by illuminating the target with white light and receiving light reflected from a target, and a fluorescence image obtained by illuminating the target with excitation light and receiving fluorescence light emitted by the target in response to illumination with excitation light.

Video endoscope for fluorescence imaging

A sensor device configured to be attached to a drug delivery device and configured to illuminate the drug delivery device when attached, the sensor device having an OLED having a transparent first electrode, a transparent second electrode and a central layer disposed between the first and second electrodes, the central layer comprising at least one organic layer, the at least one organic layer configured to emit light through the transparent first electrode, and an optical sensor arranged to receive light reflected from a surface of the drug delivery device, wherein the central layer of the OLED has a region without the at least one organic layer and wherein the optical sensor is arranged, when the sensor device is attached to the drug delivery device, to view a predetermined area of the surface of the drug delivery device through the region without the at least one organic layer.

Sensor device with OLED

An optical system including: a distal optical assembly; a proximal optical assembly; and an image sensor; wherein the distal and proximal optical assemblies define a beam path; the distal optical assembly couples incident beams of light from a field of view located in an object space in the proximal optical assembly; the proximal optical assembly directs the incident beams of light onto a light-sensitive surface of the image sensor; and at least one of the distal and proximal optical assemblies comprise, at least one prism arranged in the beam path, such that the at least one prism limits the field of view of the optical system on at least one side.

Optical system and a surgical instrument with such an optical system

The present disclosure relates to a supplementary device for attachment to an injection device including an imaging arrangement configured to capture an image of a moveable number sleeve of the injection device, a plurality of light sources, and a processor arrangement configured to control operation of the imaging arrangement and the plurality of light sources and to receive image data from the imaging arrangement. In some instances, the processor arrangement is configured to activate the plurality of light sources sequentially and to combine multiple images captured by the imaging apparatus under different illumination conditions into a single image.

Supplementary device for attachment to a drug injection device for monitoring injection doses having OCR imaging system with glare reduction

A supplemental device for attachment to an injection device including a dosage window covering a sleeve on which dose values are marked is provided. The supplemental device comprises: a main body; an arrangement for supporting the main body of the supplemental device in a predetermined positional relationship with the injection device; a transparent protection window located at a surface of the main body that is aligned with the dosage window of the injection pen when in use; and a sensor arrangement supported in the main body and having a sensor directed at the protection window. The protection window has an optical power. The protection window may be a cylindrical lens or a toric lens.

Supplemental device for attachment to an injection device

The subject matter described herein relates to a supplementary device for attachment to an injection device, the supplementary device comprising: a first imaging arrangement and a second imaging arrangement each configured to capture an image of a moveable number sleeve of the injection device from different respective angles. The supplementary device also comprises a plurality of light sources and a processor arrangement configured to control operation of the first imaging arrangement and the second imaging arrangement and the plurality of light sources and to receive image data from each of the imaging arrangements, wherein the processor arrangement is configured to combine images captured by the first imaging arrangement and the second imaging arrangement into a single image.
