03.03.21 -- Navigated Surgery + Hermetic LEDs | Laser Power Measurement Tips
Article | By Jochen Herzberg and Dr. Frank Gindele, SCHOTT North America Inc. Surgical navigation success is mostly influenced by a single aspect: accurate representation of instrument positioning. Without this, procedure and patient safety could be compromised. Hermetically sealed LED modules enable optical tracking technologies with reliable precision. Product Focus FLEXPOINT MVpulse laser module combines two criteria of machine vision: bright light with output powers up to 100 mW and class 2 eye safety. High output and high contrast images allow for detailed processing. Bright light only needs to be available when the camera takes an image. The electronics match acquisition frequency and illumination pulses to each other, enabling high output powers without the use of complex protective measures.
