Claim 5:
6. A surgical image acquisition system comprising:
an imaging device comprising an illumination source to emit light having a specified central wavelength;
a surgical hub comprising a situational awareness module;
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
control an operation of the of illumination source;
receive, from a light sensor, imaging data based on light reflected from a tissue sample;
calculate tissue refractive index data from the imaging data;
calculate structural data related to a characteristic of a structure within the tissue sample based on the tissue refractive index data; and
transmit the imaging data to the situational awareness module,

wherein the situational awareness module comprises an artificial intelligence module trained to determine a position of the imaging device based on the imaging data, and
wherein the characteristic of the structure is a surface characteristic or a structure composition.
