A Monocular Variable Magnifications 3D Laparoscope System Using Double Liquid Lenses [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine, 2023 During minimal invasive surgery (MIS), the laparoscope only provides a single viewpoint to the surgeon, leaving a lack of 3D perception. Many works have been proposed to obtain depth and 3D reconstruction by designing a new optical structure or by ...

A dual-view multi-resolution laparoscope for safer and more efficient minimally invasive surgery [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is limited in safety and efficiency by the hand-held nature and narrow fields of view of traditional laparoscopes. A multi-resolution foveated laparoscope (MRFL) was invented to address these concerns.
