Endoscope Tapers

Because of restricted space, it is only possible to incorporate relatively small bundles of lighting fibers in rigid or flexible endoscopes. To adapt the larger optical cross-section of an illumination light guide to a small fiber bundle cross-section, many endoscope manufacturers use a fiber cone as an optical coupling device on the endoscope's light input. In comparison with a lens system, a fiber cone can be kept to very compact dimensions providing better light input. SCHOTT's fiber cones meet the strict requirements for high transmission even after several thousand autoclave and dishwasher cyles.
