Abstract
An ergonomic digital imaging system obviates the need for, and replaces, the standard microscope with binoculars for viewing images, thereby freeing the user from using his or her hands to manipulate images seen through the binoculars of the microscope, whereby the user can use his or her hands for other tasks, such as dental or other surgery, from a position away from the exhaled breath of the patient being treated. The images are maintained focused, no matter how close or far the viewer is to the viewing display screen. The system is collapsible and portable, so that specialists can take the system from office to office, a plug and play work environment. The extended maneuverability of the camera head results in simple and fast patient positioning, and the camera and display module adjust for any comfortable sit or stand ergonomics of the practitioner.
