LASER/ENDOSCOPIC PROBE ASSEMBLY FOR MICROSURGICAL USE

摘要

A laser/endoscopic probe assembly (13) for microsurgical use, wherein laser radiation (8) is guided from a laser source (7) through the endoscopic probe (10) to a target tissue (5). Said endoscopic probe (10) comprises at least one lens (2) at the distal end, an intermediate portion consisting of a plurality of image carriers (3) for delivering an image to an eyepiece (1), and illuminating fibres (6) extending substantially parallel to the optical image path (4) of said endoscopic probe (10). Said radiation (8) from the laser source (7) is injected into the optical image path (4) of the endoscopic probe (10) via at least one lens (9) and at least one removable splitter (11).
