Objective of an angularly viewing, rigid endoscope

摘要

An objective of an oblique viewing, rigid endoscope, including a prism arrangement consisting of distal and proximal prisms contacting with planar contact surfaces that are oblique to an axis of the objective, the distal prism includes a distal front face toward the viewing direction of the objective, from which the rays entering there enter through the distal prism and through a passage area of the contact surfaces into the proximal prism and after double reflection in the proximal prism on a first mirror on a diagonal surface and a second mirror on the contact surface exit in the direction of the axis of the objective through a surface perpendicular to the direction of the axis of the objective, wherein the second mirror is arranged outside the penetration area, and an absorption layer is arranged in the plane of the second mirror between this and the penetration area.

主权项

1. An objective lens of an angularly viewing, rigid endoscope, the objective lens comprising:
a prism arrangement comprising distal and proximal prisms, both contacting with planar contact surfaces that are inclined relative to an axis, the distal prism includes a distal end face positioned perpendicular to a viewing direction, from which a ray incident on the distal end face along the viewing direction is transmitted through the distal prism and through a penetration area of the planar contact surfaces and into the proximal prism, in which the ray is reflected at a first angle by a first mirror disposed on an inclined surface facing the planar contact surfaces, the ray is then reflected by a second mirror disposed on one of the contact surfaces and is emitted through a surface that is perpendicular to the axis and along a direction of the axis, wherein the contact surfaces are inclined to the distal end face; the second mirror is spaced apart from the penetration area in an inclining direction of the contact surfaces, an absorption layer is provided in the contact surfaces; the absorption layer is positioned between a region at which the second mirror is disposed and the penetration area; and an oblique ray, that is incident on the distal end face at a predetermined angle relative to the viewing direction, is transmitted through the penetration area, and is reflected by the first mirror at a second angle that is different from the first angle, and is absorbed by the absorption layer.
