A new medical measuring device uses a single lens reflex (SLR) camera with aligned grids and a macrozoom lens for accurate physical parameter measurement. This tool offers direct measurement and photographic recording, improving accuracy in fields like ophthalmology.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Instrumentation
  • Ophthalmology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Accurate measurement of physical parameters is crucial in modern medicine, especially ophthalmology.
  • Existing measurement tools like plastic rulers and Hertel exophthalmometers have limitations in accuracy due to parallax, perspective, and user variation.
  • Previous photographic methods require post-processing, delaying measurement acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel, simple, and cost-effective multi-purpose device for accurate physical parameter measurement.
  • To introduce a device that combines direct measurement with photographic evidence.
  • To address the limitations of current measurement tools in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • The device integrates a single lens reflex (SLR) camera body with two precisely aligned in-camera grids.
