As the use of Endoscopes continues to expand, the development of miniature actuation has led the use of motorization to provide clearer imaging, through focus and zoom functions as well as manipulators to perform specific tasks. Ultrasonic piezo motors play a key role in advancing the capabilities of this versatile medical device.

As Endoscopes are sterilized and reused, there are current efforts to provide better image quality without changing the optical tube that is inserted into the body. This comes in the form of adding a motorized lens between the eye piece and the camera, freeing up the doctor’s hands to tend to a patient.

Utilizing Nanomotion’s family of miniature, low voltage piezo motors, small modules are designed to move a lens precisely along the optical axis. This module contains the entire closed loop axis, with motor, feedback, and servo control.

Nanomotion has developed more advanced motion solutions that are cable of driving a lens, contained in a 6mm diameter tube, yielding the ability to put motion at the tip of the endoscope.

In the mid-1990’s, Capsule Endoscopy was developed by putting a camera system in a capsule. The capsule travels through the digestive tract, taking thousands of pictures that transmitted to an external storage device worn on a belt. This has been extremely helpful in examining the small intestines for diagnosing Crohn’s disease.

Nanomotion leveraged its design of a cell phone focus module, reducing the size of the components, to fit into the capsule, which is about the size of a vitamin.

While the birth of the Microscope dates back to approximately 1590, there are many claims as to who was the first inventor:

• Zaccharias & Hans Janssen were spectacle makers and experimented with multiple lenses in a tube, increasing the magnification of objects, in the 1590’s
• Galileo, in 1609, ultimately configured multiple lenses (convex and concave) into a tube, resulting in the Telescope and incorporating a focus device. Ultimately this was celebrated in 1624 and given the name “Microscope”.
• Anton van Leeuwenhoek, often referred to as the “Father of the Microscope” ultimately used a single, strong lens to see and identify bacteria, bringing advancement to the biological community.
