Measurement Technology for Medical, Pharmaceutical & Biotechnological Applications
In medical technology, high standards apply with regard to quality, repeatability and compliance with narrow tolerances. These also apply for medical devices and apparatus construction, plant automation, the manufacture of medical technology products and the development and production of pharmaceuticals.
Thanks to high accuracy, integrability and the wide variety of models, sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used in versatile measurement tasks.
Hearing Aid Testing
When developing hearing aids, you need systems that allow you to test, benchmark, control quality and augment product designs, while taking into consideration quality hearing reproduction and problem-free communication.
Hearing aid designers have to take into consideration a long list of expectations and corresponding challenges, including:
- Improving speech intelligibility in noise
- Reproducing nature’s sounds
- Making soft sounds audible
- Ensuring that loud sounds are never uncomfortably loud
- Ensuring optimum music reproduction
- Improving the user's perception of their own voices
- Optimizing sound reproduction for both in-ear and behind-the-ear hearing aids
Hearing aids systems need to support both traditional, standardized electroacoustic measurements and open and flexible processes that assist in the development of new hearing aid technologies and features.
Wavefront-based ophthalmic lens inspection
Contact and intraocular lenses maintain and improve a patient’s vision. These ophthalmic lenses are manufactured in very large quantities, so that reliable quality assurance and efficient process monitoring is indispensable. In addition, the manufacturers’ development departments are continuously working on innovative lens designs, making it a vital asset to be able to specify and analyse the properties of these products even more precisely.
Optocraft’s powerful wavefront-based measuring and inspection systems for ophthalmic lenses facilitate the daily work in R&D, quality assurance and process monitoring for customers worldwide. Faster, very reliable and more cost-effective: see with your own eyes how Optocraft’s technology enhances lens metrology.
Wavefront sensing in medical technology
Measurement of microscope objective lenses
In microscopy, endoscopy and generally in imaging processes in medical technology, optics are used that often have to meet the highest demands. Both the minimization of the field curvature and the correction of chromatic errors play an important role.
The measurement of the transmitted wavefront enables a precise determination of the image quality as well as the active alignment of the optical system. The detailed Zernike analysis of the wavefront, on-axis and in the field, as well as the possibility of measuring at different wavelengths, have a decisive advantage over traditional MTF methods. Used worldwide in production, quality assurance and R&D, Optocraft wavefront measurement technology contributes to the improvement of optical processes and systems in medicine.
Monitoring of laser systems with wavefront sensors
Characterisation of focusing optics
Focusing optics for laser cutting, welding or structuring are optimized to generate a defined focus. Wavefront measurements are carried out to verify and optimise the quality of such optics as well as for monitoring during operation. In particular, these applications benefit from the high intrinsic stability of the SHSLab wavefront sensor, and the possibility of using it at very different wavelengths. In addition to individual lenses, mirrors or beam splitters, F-Theta lenses, for example, can also be tested extensively.
