In modern medical diagnostics, urine analysis is a crucial routine examination. With increasing testing volumes, traditional manual microscopy is inefficient, prone to errors, and struggles to meet growing demands. Automated urine analyzers have emerged as a solution, with high-quality imaging systems being a core component. One of our long-term customer, a leading in-vitro diagnostics company, exemplifies this trend with its automated urine analyzer.
Our MTDP10 infinity-corrected fixed magnification lens, with its unique modular design and superior optical performance, combined with direct metallurgical objective imaging, offers an efficient and reliable imaging solution for medical device manufacturers, enabling automated, high-throughput urine analysis.
MTDP10 Lens in Urine Analyzer
1. High-Resolution Imaging for Precise Urine Component Identification:
The MTDP10 lens, directly coupled with a 40X metallurgical objective (NA 0.65, Working Distance 12mm), provides sharp, high-resolution images, enabling accurate identification of various urine components, including:
- Formed Elements: Red blood cells, white blood cells, epithelial cells, bacteria, crystals, etc.
- Casts: Hyaline casts, granular casts, cellular casts, etc.
2. Precise Magnification and Field of View:
- Optical Magnification: The MTDP10 lens with the 40X metallurgical objective provides 40X optical magnification.
- Display Magnification: Using a 1/2-inch sensor and a common display size (e.g., 17 inches), the display magnification is approximately 60X. This results in a total magnification of approximately 2400X (40X x 60X).
- Field of View: The field of view depends on the objective’s field number and the camera sensor size. It should be calculated based on the specific metallurgical objective used.
