    摘要: An illumination device for an endoscope includes illumination means for coupling light into a light guide. The illumination means has an LED matrix array having a plurality of LED pixels forming an emission area, and further includes a light guide port associated with the illumination means for positioning a light-guiding transmission area, which is disposed at an end of the light guide. The device also includes LED pixels configured as sensor elements configured to detect LED pixels of the emission area that are directed at non-light-guiding portions of the light guide, and wherein the device has a control unit which is configured to selectively operate the LED pixels of the LED matrix array for coupling light into the light guide in such a manner that at least some of the LED pixels directed at the non-guiding portions of the light guide in the main emission direction are operated at lower power or deactivated.

    摘要: A beam combining device for combining light from a first light source and light from a second light source of a light-source device for a medical apparatus includes a body made of a transparent material, a face which reflects in at least either a dichroic or polarization-dependent manner and is situated in or on the body, which face is transparent to light having a first spectrum or a first polarization and reflects light having a second spectrum or a second polarization, and a light-entrance face on the body, which light-entrance face is provided and arranged so that light enters the beam combining device through the light-entrance face. At least either the light-entrance face or the face reflecting in a dichroic or polarization-dependent manner is curved.

    摘要: A device for simultaneous fixation of medical instruments is disclosed, the device comprising a holding portion, a coupling element and a pushing element, wherein the coupling element is configured for the holding portion to be pivoted about a pivot axis, and the pushing element is configured, in a first position, not to exert a force or a first force on the holding portion so that the holding portion can be pivoted, and, in a second position, to exert a second force, which is greater than the first force, on the holding portion so that the holding portion can be pivoted with respect to the first force. is fixed with respect to rotation about the pivot axis. A system with such a device is also disclosed.
