Case Study: Objective Lens: Small diameter and short overall length in the optical system

Key Takeaways

  • Avantier’s small objective lens revolutionizes medical optical systems, particularly in dental health applications.
  • This project focuses on utilizing a higher-resolution lens while reducing the overall optical system volume. This carefully balanced approach involves advanced optical design, material selection, and component layout optimization.
  • The lens, with a diameter under 3mm, a length below 10mm, and a larger working distance, showcases exceptional performance without compromise. Avantier achieves this by incorporating integrated components, lightweight materials, and innovative design strategies.
  • The lens’s advantages include: reduced size, weight, and enhanced imaging quality. These advantages contribute to a competitive edge in the market. Avantier’s small objective lens exemplifies technological breakthroughs, fostering innovation in dental healthcare and advancing the field of oral science.

 

Introduction

The small microscope objective lens is widely used in medical optical systems, particularly in oral cavity examinations, dentistry examinations, and dental nerve diagnostics. With a smaller size, higher resolution, and an intelligent AI-assisted system, it provides powerful tools to help healthcare professionals gain a more comprehensive understanding of oral health conditions. The application of this small objective lens in the field of dentistry highlights its importance in improving image resolution, in achieving precise diagnostics, and in advancing research in oral medicine. By offering advanced visual tools to doctors and researchers, this lens has made outstanding contributions to oral healthcare and oral science.

 

Project overview

Currently, most intramural scanner system brands require you to use specific scanning strategies or workflows to ensure optimal data collection. However, this project aims not only to utilize a higher-resolution small objective lens but also to reduce the overall volume of the optical system, providing ample space for the AI-driven three-dimensional model. In the end, Avantier’s small objective lens has a diameter of less than 3mm, an overall length of less than 10mm, and a larger working distance of more than 25mm.
