Optical design and analysis for medical devices and diagnostics. Client names are withheld.

Published studies cover a smartphone dermatoscope, laser delivery into a diagnostic cartridge, and an imaging lens for a 4K otoscope.

### Typical problems

- A smartphone clip-on imager has to stay sharp when the phone is not seated precisely, without a change to the barrel, retention, or case.
- A diagnostic cartridge has to put more of a laser diode's light onto a small sensing well at more than one cartridge position.
- An otoscope lens has to serve a 4K sensor inside a standard ear speculum, including a catalog-lens path to a prototype.
