International Classification:

H01L 2700

US Classification:

2502081, 250216

Abstract:

An imaging system and methodology is provided to facilitate optical imaging performance. The system includes a sensor having one or more receptors and an image transfer medium to scale the sensor and receptors to an object field of view. A computer, memory, and/or display associated with the sensor provides storage and/or display of information relating to output from the receptors to produce and/or process an image, wherein a plurality of illumination sources can also be utilized in conjunction with the image transfer medium. The image transfer medium can be configured as a k-space filter that correlates a pitch associated with the receptors to a diffraction-limited spot within the object field of view, wherein the pitch can be unit-mapped to about the size of the diffraction-limited spot within the object field of view.

US Classification:

351206, 250580

Abstract:

An imaging system, methodology, and various applications are provided to facilitate optical imaging performance. The system contains a sensor having one or more receptors and an image transfer medium to scale the sensor and receptors in accordance with resolvable characteristics of the medium, and as defined with certain ratios. A computer, memory, and/or display associated with the sensor provides storage and/or display of information relating to output from the receptors to produce and/or process an image, wherein a plurality of illumination sources can also be utilized in conjunction with the image transfer medium. The image transfer medium can be configured as a k-space filter that correlates receptor size to a diffraction-limited spot associated with the image transfer medium, wherein the receptor size can be unit-mapped within a certain ratio to the size of the diffraction-limited spot.
