Requirements and Design Methodology for a Spatio-Angular Vitreoretinal Surgical Microscope
This paper presents the requirements and design methodology for a vitreoretinal surgical microscope based on plenoptic imaging. The design parameters of the imaging lens, micro-lens array, and sensor are specified. The proposed design provides an extended depth imaging range when compared to proof-of-concept systems based on a commercial plenoptic sensor, and serves as the guideline for the implementation of clinically relevant surgical microscopes.
