Abstract:
A camera head is provided that includes a first lens group, including at least one deformable lens with variable curvature, a second lens group moveable relative to the first lens group, and an image sensor for capturing a light beam received from an endoscope, wherein the first lens group is fixed relative to the image sensor and the aperture of the first lens group is smaller than the aperture of the second lens group. A method is also provided for capturing of an image utilizing a zoom system including a variable power first lens group and a movable second lens group.

Claim (Index 16):
A method for capturing an image comprising the steps of:\n A. providing an optoelectronic device, the optoelectronic device comprising, disposed along a common optical path,\n i. an image sensor; \n ii. a zoom system; the zoom system comprising a plurality of lens groups for imaging the image, the plurality of lens groups comprising, in relative order along the common optical path\n 1. a first lens group comprising at least one deformable lens with a variable curvature, the first lens group being fixed relative to the image sensor; and \n 2. a second lens group optically arranged between the first lens group and the image sensor, the second lens group adapted to move relative to the first lens group in a direction substantially coaxial with at least a portion of the common optical path; \n \n B. illuminating scene; C. forming an image of the illuminated scene with an objective; D. transferring the image to the optoelectronic device; E. adjusting zoom and focus settings of the optoelectronic device by adjusting the power of the first lens system and the position of the second lens system such that a focused image is detected by the image sensor; and F. capturing the image with the image sensor.
