We proposed an image projecting system integrated into the microscope to project the endoscope\u2019s image to the intermediate image of the microscope that can be viewed through the microscope&#8217;s eyepiece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\">Background <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Neurotology is a subspecialty of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. Neurotologists surgically treat various disorders that affect hearing and balance within the temporal bone and even within the cranial vault. The small confines of the surgical fields and their narrow points of access necessitate microscopic and endoscopic views and the use of micro-neurotologic instruments. The setup, spatial organization, and sterility of the bulky instruments used to visualize the surgical field presents a challenge for the surgeon and operating room staff. Given the spatial constraints within the operating room and the operative field, instruments would ideally be consolidated to one unit when possible and compact in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At present, the endoscope, microscope, and suctioning tube are separate pieces of equipment. During an operation, the ENT surgeon often needs to switch between scopes depending on the field of view necessary. The endoscope provides a large FOV with slight magnification, and the microscope offers a small FOV with high magnification. When switching from microscopic to endoscopic view becomes necessary, changing between equipment is cumbersome and increases OR time. For specific disease processes, inadequate visualization can result in residual disease, often requiring further surgery. An additional problem is presented with the use of the suctioning tube. The surgeon must hold the endoscope in one hand and either an otologic instrument or the suction in the other. The use of the endoscope essentially requires the surgeon to operate with only one hand. Thus, a product that integrates these multiple functions could significantly improve the efficiency of otologic surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fitness For Use<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The system will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Be able to switch seamlessly between the view of a microscope and that of an endoscope<\/li><li>Integrate the existing endoscope and microscope into a single system<\/li><li>Be easily attached to the existing microscope<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is desirable that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&nbsp;The endoscope has a suctioning tube attached<\/li><li>The microscope has binocular viewing capabilities<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item\"><details><summary class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item__title\">Overview of the System and Design<\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<h2 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Microscope Structure and Specifications<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our system is an add-on device to our customer\u2019s surgical microscope, and our system\u2019s design and specifications are highly dependent on the microscope. The surgical microscope that our customers use is Leica M520 MS2, as shown in Fig.1(a). Fig.1(b). This microscope consists of three main parts: binocular tube and eyepieces, a zoom system, and the main objective. Afocal interfaces are provided in between the three main parts, in which optical imaging paths are collimated to provide a modular structure of the surgical microscope. Furthermore, a beam splitter (as shown in Fig.2(b)) is provided between the binocular tube (as shown in Fig.2(a)) and the zoom system, to provide an optical path for co-observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/fig1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-648\"\/><figcaption>Fig. 1.

The air gap between the binocular tube and the zoom system will be extended, and our image projecting system will be mounted in between. This will increase the amount of vignetting in the microscope but will not affect optical aberrations. The amount of vignetting can be minimized by controlling the physical dimension of the image projecting system. For our image projecting system design, we will use a collimator to collimate the beam from the USAF optical target, and the collimated beam will be focused by the binocular tube on the intermediate image plane. Therefore, the projected image will coincide with the microscope\u2019s intermediate image. The projecting system will be attached after the beam splitter, and it will have the same mounting mechanics as the beam splitter in Leica M520 MS2. We confirmed our idea with Leica\u2019s technical support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/fig3-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-651\" width=\"315\" height=\"525\"\/><figcaption>Fig. 3.

We designed the housing of the system, and all the optics components will be mounted in it. The housing will be 3D printed using polymers for the prototype product, but metal housing is desired for long-term usage. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item\"><details><summary class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item__title\">Design and Specifications<\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<h2 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\">Optical Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-heading\">Components and Specifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three main optical components in the design: the micro-display, the collimator lens, and the reflective mirror. By evaluating the performance and cost of various design forms, we determined the final design form. The following tables list the components we chose and their specifications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/design1-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-670\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/design2-747x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-654\"\/><figcaption>* Measured from the entrance pupil plane to the first lens vertex.<br>** Measured from the housing edge to the image plane.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/senior-design-day\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/design3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-655\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-heading\">Photon Budget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The current illumination system is not attached to the microscopes or endoscope, it is a system on its own. The quality of the lenses and the angle of viewing will determine the throughput of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The illumination should be specified in Lumens since it is a direct measurement of light output and can tell you the degree of brightness, which is what the surgeons need: Illumination adjustable according to their preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The maximum luminance that can be achieved through the projecting system:<br>For micro-display:<br>Luminance=3000cd\/m^2<br>Area of the image of endoscope= 113.4225\u03c0 \u3016mm\u3017^2<br>NA= 0.0485<br>Etendue=Area\u2219\u03c0\u2219\u3016NA\u3017^2=2.6319 \u3016mm\u3017^2 sr<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For intermediate Image:<br>Area=121\u03c0 \u3016mm\u3017^2<br>NA = 0.13265 (estimated)<br>Etendue=Area\u2219\u03c0\u2219\u3016NA\u3017^2=21.0126 \u3016mm\u3017^2 sr<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The micro-display is the limiting factor for etendue, so the maximum luminance achievable will be the same as that of the micro-display, 3000 cd\/m^2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Since our image projecting system is mounted between the original microscope beam splitter and the binocular tube, we will add airspace between the beam splitter and the binocular tube. The added airspace will cause vignetting, and we will lose some light under the microscope view. According to the product picture of the microscope beam splitter and the binocular tube, we estimate the entrance pupil diameter (EPD) of the binocular tube as 22.55mm. In our design, the collar has a height of 40mm, and the added airspace will be the same amount. The amount of vignetting under microscope view can be calculated as<br>vignetting=(Clipped chief ray bundle height )\/(Chief ray bundle height before adding airspace)=(40mm\u2219tan3.7\u00b0)\/(22.55mm\u00f72)=22.94%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-primary-background-color has-primary-color is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\">Housing Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We designed sliding mechanics for the system\u2019s housing.

Due to the pandemic, the production and shipping time for the microdisplay was too long for the time frame of this project. Instead, we used a USAF resolution target to replace the microdisplay and evaluate the resolution of the system. This compromise had virtually no influence on the optical performance of our system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We tested the compatibility of our system with our customers&#8217; microscope and the optical performance of the image projecting system. We attached our system to the binocular tube (Fig 7(a)) to test the alignment and performance of the system. Fig 7(b) shows the process of testing. Fig 7(c) shows the image of the USAF resolution target taken through the eyepiece on the binocular tube, representing the view under normal operation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seniordesign.digitalscholar.rochester.edu\/optics2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/testing-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-667\"\/><figcaption>Fig. 7.

From these results, our prototype shows great potential for future use in the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the low accuracy of 3D printing, we had difficulty mounting our system to the microscope&#8217;s beam splitter. Because we were unable to securely mount the system, we had to hold it by hand which caused issues with alignment leading to an off-center and tilted image. However, the optical performance still exceeded expectations, so we still consider the whole prototype as passing initial testing. We will make fine adjustments to the 3D model for the next steps, and we recommend that it is machined from metal to be more sturdy for mounting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item\"><details><summary class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item__title\">Estimate of Cost<\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p>The following is the cost estimate of the prototype. For the final product, the price of the microdisplay (~$230) should also be considered. Also, the price of the system housing may vary due to different materials and fabrication methods. More prisms\/mirrors may be needed to fold the beam path to make the system more compact. For comparison, a similar product from Leica has a retail price of around $44,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Component<\/th><th>Estimated Cost<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Collimator lens<\/td><td>$753.24<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Reflective Mirror<\/td><td>$83.06<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>System Housing<\/td><td>~$100<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><tfoot><tr><td><strong>Total<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>~$936.3<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tfoot><\/table><figcaption>Table 2.
