Rigid endoscopic relay systems: a comparative study

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Relay systems in rigid endoscopes can compensate for aberrations in the objective and the eyepiece. Five classes of rigid relay systems are examined: conventional; glass Hopkins; plastic lens, glass-rod Hopkins; modified Hopkins; and gradient index. First-order theory, including achromatization, is developed for these systems. Design results are presented, and aberration, vignetting, and system length tradeoffs are analyzed.
