Illumination optics play a key role in biomedical technologies ranging from illuminators for microscopy and endoscopy to wearable monitoring and diagnostic devices. These illumination optical systems require sophisticated light propagation analysis to verify design performance.

Specialized LightTools Features for Tissue Modeling

LightTools offers specialized features that are particularly useful in the biomedical field for modeling tissue. For example, the Henyey-Greenstein option in LightTools allows you to define volume scattering properties of a material. This volume scattering type has the advantage of using only one variable to describe the angular scattering distribution. You can obtain this parameter from medical literature in order to model specific types of tissue.

Co-Simulations with Simpleware for Advanced Diagnostics

LightTools also supports co-simulations with 草榴社区 Simpleware software to develop light-based technologies for advanced biomedical diagnostics and treatments. Simpleware software provides advanced CAD and Simulation-Ready 3D Anatomical Models that can be exported to LightTools to accurately reproduce real-world optical scenarios for medical devices.
