A CAMERA UNIT ADAPTOR, A METHOD OF RECORDING AN IMAGE AND A COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT

摘要

The invention relates to a camera unit adaptor for coupling an add¬ on camera unit on a portable electronic device 41 to an endoscope 30 providing an image of less accessible structures. The adaptor includes a frame 13 attachable, in a pre-specified lateral position, to a front side of a camera unit. The frame is also connectable to a proximal end of an endoscope. Further, the frame may include a strip 14 of light guiding material being provided with an opening 15. The strip covers a region of the camera unit's front side where an optical sensor 3 and a flash light source 4 of the camera unit are located. The opening is aligned with the camera unit's optical sensor when the frame is attached to the front side of the camera unit, such that light from the flash light source 4 enters into the strip 14, propagates towards the strip opening 15 and is incident on the optical sensor 3 in a border zone surrounding the endoscope image of interest.
