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 Raman endoscope for use in obtaining in vivo Raman spectra in the peripheral airways of the lungs and a method of constructing the Raman endoscope are disclosed. The endoscope has a tubular sheath containing a fiber bundle. The sheath has an outer diameter of less than 1.35 mm. The sheath is made of fluorinated ethylene propylene. The sheath is flexible along its length from a first end to a point along the sheath so that it can navigate sharp turns within the peripheral airways. A layer of coating covers the sheath along a terminal length and a probe tip of the fiber bundle. The terminal length extends along a length of the sheath extending from a second end opposite to the first end to the point. Terminal length is rigid to facilitate advancement of the endoscope towards the lesion of interest. Terminal length is 5 mm or less.
