Abstract
A system and method of manufacturing directed to an optical device with optical illumination. The optical device has a case for encasing an optical module. The optical module has one or more contact points in contact with the imaged surface. The suspension system uses a flexible connection to suspend the optical module over an opening in the bottom of the case. The flexible connection and the contact points control the distance between a surface and an optical lens within the optical module and allow the optical module to stay in the correct position.
