Endoscopic system, has fluorescence converter designed as fluorescent body that is mounted downstream of light emergence surface of transmission path as separate interchangeable part, and distal end and body, which are inserted into fixture

摘要

The system (1) has an excitation radiation source (5) arranged in a proximal supply unit (4), an optical radiation transmission path i.e. glass fiber (8), in an insertion piece (3), and a fluorescence converter at a distal end of the path. A laser diode (6) emits in a shortwave visible spectral range, which is used as the excitation radiation source. The fluorescence converter is designed as a fluorescent body that is mounted downstream of a light emergence surface of the path as a separate, interchangeable part. The distal end and the body are inserted into a lighting fixture (10).
