Abstract

A positioning device (102) is presented. The positioning device (102) includes an articulation assembly (128) including a tubular structure (150) including an aperture at a distal end and a first connector (134, 504) on an outer surface. Also, the articulation assembly (128) includes a focus unit (136) disposed within the tubular structure (150) at the distal end. Further, the positioning device (102) includes a fixture including a channel (602) and a second connector (614) disposed on an inner surface of the channel (602), wherein the channel (602) is configured to receive the articulation assembly (128) and guide at least a portion of the articulation assembly (128) including the focus unit (136) to pass through the fixture, and wherein the second connector (614) is configured to inter-lock with the first connector (134) of the tubular structure (150) so as to position the focus unit (136) at a predetermined location.
