Precision glass molding process enhancing the expanding of chip-on-tip endoscopes

Biomedical Imaging and Sensing Conference (BISC), vol. 18, pp. 53

Abstract

A new endoscope structure called chip-on-tip is designed to reach both miniaturization and affordability beyond the conventional rigid endoscope. Hence, the precision glass molding process as a replicative manufacturing method can be integrated into the endoscopes production chain and deliver the optics with not only high quality but also reasonable cost under large production volume.
