Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
295 words
In combination, a colposcope, a photographic attachment including a film cassette, and a light source, said colposcope including two side-by-side occulars, an objective lens in line with each of said occulars, said lens and occulars defining a top view field of vision; said light source being mounted on said colposcope on a reflective line perpendicular with said field of vision; said photographic attachment including a tube and bushing means removably connecting the tube and said colposcope, said tube defining a predetermined line of sight parallel to said field of vision; said photograph attachment defining a side view field of observation wherein a specimen can be observed; said photographic attachment including two side-by-side adjustable reflex mirrors within said side view field of observation of said tube, whereby a bundle of light impinging upon the specimen is reflected and travels along a predetermined path of said colposcope and through said tube; a pair of upper reflex mirrors included in said photographic attachment spanning said tube, at a predetermined angle with respect to said line of sight through said tube, said line of sight defining an angle of incidence with respect to said reflex mirrors and an optical axis of reflection; two side-by-side objective field lenses arranged in perpendicular relation to said optical path; and a first and a second lower reflective mirror, each of said reflective mirrors being spaced from one of said two side-by-side objective field lenses and being arranged parallel thereto; and a lower reflective mirror spaced from said two side-by-side objective field lenses and said relay objective lenses at a predetermined angle with respect to said optical path defining an angle of incidence and said film cassette being arranged in spanning relation and perpendicular to the angle of reflection of said lower reflex mirror.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
295 words
In combination, a colposcope, a photographic attachment including a film cassette, and a light source, said colposcope including two side-by-side occulars, an objective lens in line with each of said occulars, said lens and occulars defining a top view field of vision; said light source being mounted on said colposcope on a reflective line perpendicular with said field of vision; said photographic attachment including a tube and bushing means removably connecting the tube and said colposcope, said tube defining a predetermined line of sight parallel to said field of vision; said photograph attachment defining a side view field of observation wherein a specimen can be observed; said photographic attachment including two side-by-side adjustable reflex mirrors within said side view field of observation of said tube, whereby a bundle of light impinging upon the specimen is reflected and travels along a predetermined path of said colposcope and through said tube; a pair of upper reflex mirrors included in said photographic attachment spanning said tube, at a predetermined angle with respect to said line of sight through said tube, said line of sight defining an angle of incidence with respect to said reflex mirrors and an optical axis of reflection; two side-by-side objective field lenses arranged in perpendicular relation to said optical path; and a first and a second lower reflective mirror, each of said reflective mirrors being spaced from one of said two side-by-side objective field lenses and being arranged parallel thereto; and a lower reflective mirror spaced from said two side-by-side objective field lenses and said relay objective lenses at a predetermined angle with respect to said optical path defining an angle of incidence and said film cassette being arranged in spanning relation and perpendicular to the angle of reflection of said lower reflex mirror.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A colposcope as defined in claim 1 and including between the relay objective lenses 23 and 24 and the reflex mirrors 27 and 28, a trap shutter 33 to 35.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A colposcope as defined in claim 2 including a separating wall comprising a light baffle in the path for travel of the bundle of light in the range of the reflex mirrors 27, 28 and the film cassette 30.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
56 words
A colposcope as defined in claim 3 including means supporting the field objective lenses 21 and 22 and the relay projection lenses 23, 24 in such a way, that in relation to the adjustable reflex mirrors 15, 16 the focal center of the reflex mirrors are transposed to the focal center of the field objective lenses.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
A colposcope as defined in claim 4 wherein the film cassette 30 is equipped with instant picture film materials.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A colposcope as defined in claim 5 wherein the colposcope is equipped with an additional light source and means to mount the additional light source.
