In the field of minimally invasive surgery, the imaging quality of endoscopes directly determines the diagnostic accuracy and operational safety. Traditional endoscopes often encounter two major pain points: the contradiction between the volume of the equipment and the imaging performance in a confined space, and the challenge of balancing detail capture and dynamic stability in complex lighting environments.
The Tamron MP3010M-EV mini zoom module, with its three core technologies of a 70-gram ultra-light body, 10x optical zoom, and SONY STARVIS™ low-light sensor, provides a “small size, big field of view” solution for medical devices such as electronic colposcopes, laparoscopes, and arthroscopes, becoming an “innovator” in the field of medical imaging.
I. Ultra-compact design: Breaking the space limit of medical equipment
The Tamron MP3010M-EV has a body size of only 33×43×59 millimeters and weighs just 70 grams. Compared with traditional endoscope camera modules, it is smaller in size and lighter in weight. This breakthrough design enables it to be easily embedded in the following scenarios:
Electronic colposcope: The compact design of Tamron MP3010M-EV is suitable for smaller Spaces and enables seamless switching between the remote and wide-angle ends in cervical lesion screening.
Laparoscopic surgery: Integrated at the end of the robotic arm, it reduces the occupation of abdominal space and provides doctors with a more flexible operating perspective.
Portable endoscopic ultrasound: Working in coordination with the ultrasound probe, it enables “one-click zooming + real-time imaging” during bedside examinations, enhancing the diagnostic efficiency in emergency scenarios.
Ii. 10x optical zoom + low-light imaging: Full scene coverage from macro to micro
The Tamron MP3010M-EV is equipped with a 10x optical zoom lens (f=3.3mm-33mm) and a 16x digital zoom, enabling lossless switching from 6.7° telephoto close-up to 59.2° wide-angle panorama. Combining the 0.025lux starlight-level low-light performance of SONY STARVIS™ CMOS sensors, its core advantages are particularly prominent in medical scenarios:
Clear imaging in low-light environments: In low-light surgeries such as hysteroscopy and bronchoscopy, the color details of blood vessels and mucous membranes can be presented without additional supplementary lighting, avoiding the black and white distortion of traditional infrared night vision.
Dynamic anti-shake for stable images: Electronic anti-shake technology suppresses image jitter caused by the vibration of surgical instruments and breathing, ensuring image stability for precise operations such as laparoscopic suturing and arthroscopic grinding.
Wide dynamic range: In alternating scenes of strong light (such as direct exposure to a shadowless lamp) and shadow (such as organ folds), it can fully present tissue texture and lesion boundaries, reducing the risk of misdiagnosis.
Technical comparison: Compared with traditional fixed-focus endoscopes, the zoom capability of Tamron MP3010M-EV enables doctors to avoid frequently adjusting the position of the equipment. A single device can cover the entire process of “screening – diagnosis – treatment”, reducing the equipment procurement cost for hospitals.
Iii. Multi-interface Compatibility and Intelligent Control: Simplifying Medical system integration
The Tamron MP3010M-EV offers four interface outputs: LVDS, HDMI, CVBS, and UVC, supporting seamless integration from embedded surgical systems to remote consultation platforms.
HDMI direct connection monitor: Displays high-definition images in real time during outpatient examinations, assisting communication between doctors and patients.
UVC transmission to the operating room terminal: Directly transmit 1080P/60fps video streams to the computer via the USB3.0 interface, simplifying the post-processing procedure of aerial surgical records.
VISCA protocol remote control: Compatible with mainstream medical imaging workstations, it supports remote adjustment of parameters such as zoom and focus through foot switches or voice commands, enhancing the smoothness of surgeries.
Conclusion: Drive the “centimeter-level” leap in medical imaging with “millimeter-level” innovation
The launch of Tamron MP3010M-EV marks a paradigm shift in medical endoscopes from “functional integration” to “scene adaptation”. Its ultra-compact body, all-scenario zoom and multi-interface compatibility not only provide equipment manufacturers with a solution for cost reduction and efficiency improvement, but also enable doctors to have the operational freedom of “arm and finger” in narrow cavities, and allow patients to enjoy the diagnostic accuracy of “every detail visible” in painless examinations.
