ATTACHMENT OPTICAL SYSTEM, OPTICAL SYSTEM, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, AND IMAGE PICKUP SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18387501 titled 'ATTACHMENT OPTICAL SYSTEM, OPTICAL SYSTEM, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, AND IMAGE PICKUP SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an attachment optical system with two optical systems that can be attached to different sides of an imaging optical system, satisfying a predetermined inequality.

  • Dome-shaped cover attachable to object side of imaging optical system
  • Second optical system attachable to image side of imaging optical system
  • Predetermined inequality is satisfied

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various industries such as surveillance, photography, and medical imaging where attachments to optical systems are needed for specific purposes.

Problems Solved

This innovation solves the problem of easily attaching additional optical components to an existing imaging optical system without compromising the quality of the images produced.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include increased versatility and flexibility in optical system configurations, improved image quality, and ease of attachment and detachment of optical components.

Potential Commercial Applications

A potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of modular optical systems for cameras, telescopes, and medical imaging devices, allowing users to customize their optical setups according to their specific needs.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of detachable lens systems in photography, where additional lenses can be attached to cameras to achieve different effects or focal lengths.


Original Abstract Submitted

An attachment optical system includes a first optical system consisting of a dome-shaped cover attachable to an object side of an imaging optical system, and a second optical system attachable to an image side of the imaging optical system. A predetermined inequality is satisfied.
