Description

Endoskopoptik  endoscope optics
Beschreibung description
Endoskopoptiken mit einem Faserbildleiter erzeugen ein Bild mit einer durch den Faserbildleiter bedingten Rasterung. Weitere Raster können überlagernd hinzukommen, z.B. durch im Bild vorkommende Rasterungen, wie sie bei Betrachtung einer fein gerasterten Oberfläche auftreten. Schließlich ist auf jeden Fall die Rasterung einer Digitalkamera zu beachten mit der in der heute üblichen Arbeitsweise das Bild der Endoskopoptik aufgenommen wird. Endoscope optics with a fiber image conductor produce an image with a screening caused by the fiber image conductor. Other rasters may be superimposed, e.g. by occurring in the image screens, as they occur when viewing a finely gridded surface. Finally, the rasterization of a digital camera is to be observed in any case with the image of the endoscope optics is taken in today's usual way of working.
Überlagern sich aber mehrere Raster, so kann es zu Moireeffekten kommen die zu schweren Beeinträchtigungen bei der Auswertung der Bilder führen. Insbesondere bei medizinischen Optiken kann so etwas nicht zugelassen werden. However, if several halftones overlap, moire effects can occur which lead to severe impairments in the evaluation of the images. In particular, in medical optics such a thing can not be allowed.
Daher sind bei Endoskopoptiken Moirefilter üblich, die eine definierte leichte Unschärfe erzeugen. Damit verschwindet dann auch das Moire. Therefore, in endoscope optics moire filters are common, which produce a defined slight blur. Then the moire disappears.
Moirefilter werden üblicherweise in Form von Platten, bestehend aus kristallinem Material mit doppelbrechenden Eigenschaften, verwendet. Häufig sitzen die Moirefilter in den Kameras in denen sie zum Beispiel bei hochwertigen Konsumkameras ohnehin bereits vorgesehen sind. Moirefilters are commonly used in the form of sheets consisting of crystalline material with birefringent properties. Frequently, the moire filters sit in the cameras in which they are already provided, for example, in high-quality consumer cameras anyway.
Ein Faserbildleiter ist an seiner proximalen Stirnfläche schmutzempfindlich und benötigt dort eine schützende Abdeckung zum Beispiel in Form einer Glasscheibe. Dort befindet sich auch eine Maske, zum Beispiel in Form eines am Rand umlaufenden Ringes, die einen Bereich des Bildes abdeckt. Masken sind im Bereich der proximalen Stirnfläche des Faserbildleiters vorzusehen, da die übliche Endoskopoptik dort ein scharfes Zwischenbild erzeugt. A fiber-image conductor is sensitive to dirt on its proximal end face and requires a protective cover there, for example in the form of a glass pane. There is also a mask, for example in the form of a ring surrounding the edge, which covers an area of the image. Masks are in the area of the proximal end face of the Provide fiber image guide, since the usual endoscope optics generated there a sharp intermediate image.
Die konstruktiven Verhältnisse in diesem Bereich sind kompliziert und führen zu hohen Herstellungskosten. Zudem bestehen Bestrebungen, bei der Kamera den Moirefilter einzusparen. The structural conditions in this area are complicated and lead to high production costs. There are also efforts to save the Moirefilter in the camera.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, bei einer Endoskopoptik der vorstehend besprochenen Art die genannten konstruktiven Probleme im Bereich der proximalen Stirnfläche des Faserbildleiters zu beheben. The object of the present invention is to remedy the aforementioned structural problems in the region of the proximal end face of the fiber image guide in an endoscope optics of the type discussed above.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst. This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Abdeckscheibe als Moirefilter ausgebildet. Damit wird von dem bisher vorgesehenen zwei Bauelementen, nämlich Moirefilter und Abdeckscheibe, eines eingespart. Probleme entstehen dadurch nicht, da die üblichen Moirefilter ohnehin als Platten ausgebildet sind, die auch zur Abdeckzwecken dienen können. According to the invention, the cover plate is designed as a moirefilter. This is one of the previously provided two components, namely moire filter and cover, saved. Problems do not arise because the usual Moirefilter are anyway designed as plates, which can also serve for covering purposes.
Gemäß Anspruch 2 ist der Moirefilter vorteilhaft in mehrere doppelbrechende Schichten unterteilt die so angeordnet sind, dass sie in unterschiedlicher Richtung Unschärfe erzeugen. Damit können Rastereffekte in unterschiedlichen Richtungen bekämpft werden. According to claim 2, the moire filter is advantageously subdivided into a plurality of birefringent layers which are arranged to produce blurring in a different direction. This raster effects can be combated in different directions.
Vorteilhaft sind dabei gemäß Anspruch 3 drei doppelbrechende Schichten vorgesehen. Damit wird eine gute Moirebekämpfung auch bei in ungünstigen Schrägwinkeln ausgebildeten Rasterungen erreicht. Advantageously, three birefringent layers are provided according to claim 3. Thus, a good Moirebekämpfung is achieved even when trained in unfavorable skew angles screens.
Masken sind wegen der Notwendigkeit der scharfen Abbildung im unmittelbaren Bereich der proximalen Stirnfläche des Faserbildleiters anzubringen. Sie können unterschiedlichen Zwecken dienen, zum Beispiel als ringförmige Darstellung einer Randbegrenzung oder auch als Fadenkreuz oder dergleichen. Erfindungsgemäß bildet der Moirefilter eine die proximale Stirnfläche des Faserbildleiters abdeckende Scheibe, die mit ihrer distalen Stirnfläche in der Nähe der proximalen Stirnfläche des Faserbildleiters steht. Diese Fläche eignet sich daher zur Anbringung der Maske, was zu einer fertigungstechnisch sehr einfachen Konstruktion führt, bei der nämlich die beiden hinsichtlich der Ausrichtpräzision schwierigen Teile, nämlich die Maske und der Moirefilter als ein Bauteil präzise vorgefertigt werden können. Masks are due to the need for sharp imaging in the immediate vicinity of the proximal end face of the fiber image guide to install. They can serve different purposes, for example as an annular representation of a boundary or as a crosshair or the like. According to the invention, the moire filter forms a disk which covers the proximal end face of the fiber image guide and, with its distal end face, is in the vicinity of the proximal end face of the fiber image guide. This surface is therefore suitable for mounting the mask, which leads to a manufacturing technology very simple construction, namely the two in terms of Ausrichtpräzision difficult parts, namely the mask and the moire filter can be precisely prefabricated as a component.
Die Maske wird üblicherweise aus einem dünnen Blech ausgeschnitten, was präzise Randstrukturen ermöglicht. Allerdings muss dann das Blech zum Beispiel auf der distalen Stirnfläche des Moirefilters befestigt werden. Die Erfindung vereinfacht auch hierbei die Herstellung gemäß Anspruch 5 dadurch, dass die Maske auf der distalen Stirnfläche des Moirefilters aufgedampft wird. Präzise Herstellungen und insbesondere präzise Ausrichtungen sind hierbei unkompliziert erreichbar. The mask is usually cut out of a thin sheet, which allows precise edge structures. However, then, for example, the sheet must be attached to the distal end face of the moire filter. The invention also in this case simplifies the production according to claim 5, characterized in that the mask is vapor-deposited on the distal end face of the moire filter. Precise preparations and in particular precise alignments can be easily achieved here.
Bei bekannten Konstruktionen sind die Abdeckscheiben im Abstand zur proximalen Stirnfläche des Faserbildleiters angeordnet. Diese getrennte Anordnung kann zu störenden Ausrichtfehlern führen. Erfindungsgemäß ist der Moirefilter mit seiner distalen Stirnfläche auf der proximalen Stirnfläche des Faserbildleiters verklebt. Das gibt eine sehr präzise Befestigung dieser beiden Teile aneinander, mit der Justierfehler von vornherein vermieden werden. Ferner wird dabei das Eindringen von Verunreinigungen wie zum Beispiel Staub in den scharf abbildenden Bereich an der proximalen Stirnfläche des Faserbildleiters vermieden. In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung beispielsweise und schematisch dargestellt. Es zeigen: In known constructions, the cover plates are arranged at a distance from the proximal end face of the fiber image guide. This separate arrangement can lead to disturbing Ausrichtfehlern. According to the invention, the moire filter is glued to its distal end face on the proximal end face of the fiber image guide. This gives a very precise attachment of these two parts together, with the adjustment errors are avoided from the outset. Furthermore, the penetration of impurities, for example dust, into the sharply imaging region on the proximal end face of the fiber image guide is avoided. In the drawing, the invention is shown for example and schematically. Show it:
Fig. 1 eine teilgeschnittene Seitenansicht einer erfindungsgemäßen Fig. 1 is a partially sectioned side view of an inventive
Endoskopoptik und Fig. 2 einen stark vergrößerten Schnitt nach Linie 2 - 2 in Fig. 1.  2 shows a greatly enlarged section along line 2 - 2 in FIG. 1.
Fig. 1 zeigt eine Endoskopoptik 1 , die im Wesentlichen aus einem Faserbildleiter 2 besteht, dessen einzelne Fasern 3 in Fig. 1 angedeutet sind. Der Faserbildleiter 2 ist an einer distalen Stirnfläche 4 mit einem Objektiv 5 verbunden, das zum Beispiel, wie dargestellt, eine schrägstehende Stirnfläche 6 aufweist. 1 shows an endoscope optical system 1, which consists essentially of a fiber image guide 2, the individual fibers 3 are indicated in Fig. 1. The fiber image guide 2 is connected at a distal end face 4 with a lens 5, which, for example, as shown, has an inclined end face 6.
Die dargestellte Endoskopoptik 1 ist üblicherweise von sehr langgestreckter Form und zum äußeren Schutz in einem Schaftrohr 7 angeordnet, das starr oder auch flexibel ausgebildet sein kann. Der proximale Endbereich 8 des Faserbildleiters 2 ist in starker Vergrößerung in Fig. 2 im Schnitt dargestellt. Man erkennt den Faserbildleiter 2, bestehend aus verschiedenen Fasern 3 in paralleler Anordnung. Die dargestellten Fasern enden an ihrem distalen Ende alle in einer proximalen Stirnfläche 9. Nach proximal hin sind die in Fig. 2 dargestellten Enden der Faser 3 abgebrochen dargestellt. Im Abstand zur proximalen Stirnfläche 9 des Faserbildleiters 2 ist, wie Fig. 2 zeigt, ein Moirefilter 10 angeordnet, der als planparallele Platte ausgebildet ist und mit seiner distalen Stirnfläche 11 im geringen Abstand zur proximalen Stirnfläche 9 des Faserbildleiters 2 steht. Der Moirefilter 10 besteht aus mehreren Schichten, z. B. drei Schichten, von denen in Fig. 2 zwei Schichten 10a und 10b dargestellt sind. Diese bestehen zum Beispiel aus doppelbrechendem Quarz und erzeugen doppelbrechende Wirkung in unterschiedlichen Winkeln, die zum Beispiel unter 60° zueinander stehen. Mit drei Schichten lässt sich auch bei schwierigen Rasterungen eine gute Moirebekämpfung gewährleisten The illustrated endoscope optics 1 is usually arranged in a very elongated shape and for external protection in a shaft tube 7, which may be rigid or flexible. The proximal end region 8 of the fiber image guide 2 is shown in a high magnification in Fig. 2 in section. One recognizes the fiber image conductor 2, consisting of different fibers 3 in a parallel arrangement. The illustrated fibers all terminate at their distal end in a proximal end face 9. Proximal to the ends of the fiber 3 shown in Fig. 2 are shown broken off. As shown in FIG. 2, a moirefilter 10, which is designed as a plane-parallel plate and is located at a small distance from the proximal end face 9 of the fiber-optic waveguide 2, is arranged at a distance from the proximal end face 9 of the fiber image guide 2. The Moirefilter 10 consists of several layers, eg. B. three layers, of which in Fig. 2, two layers 10 a and 10 b are shown. These consist for example of birefringent quartz and produce birefringent effect at different angles, which are, for example, less than 60 ° to each other. With three layers a good Moirebekämpfung can be guaranteed even with difficult grids
Wie Fig. 2 zeigt, befinden sich die distale Stirnfläche 11 des Moirefilters 10 und die proximale Stirnfläche 9 des Faserbildleiters 2 in geringem Abstand zueinander, der wie Fig. 2 zeigt mit Klebstoff 12 ausgefüllt ist. Dieser kann wie in beiden Figuren dargestellt ist, am Rand etwas überstehen um eine sorgfältige Abdichtung zu gewährleisten. Der Klebstoff sorgt für eine sehr feste und stabile Verbindung. As shown in FIG. 2, the distal end face 11 of the moire filter 10 and the proximal end face 9 of the fiber-optic waveguide 2 are at a small distance from each other, which, like FIG. 2, is filled with adhesive 12. This can, as shown in both figures, survive slightly at the edge to ensure a careful seal. The adhesive ensures a very strong and stable connection.
Auf der distalen Stirnfläche 11 des Moirefilters 10 ist eine Maske 13 angeordnet, die im Ausführungsbeispiel als aufgedampfter Metallfilm ausgebildet ist, dessen Dicke in Fig. 2 zur besseren zeichnerischen Darstellung stark übertrieben wurde. On the distal end face 11 of the Moirefilters 10, a mask 13 is arranged, which is formed in the embodiment as a vapor-deposited metal film, whose thickness was greatly exaggerated in Fig. 2 for better graphical representation.
Wie Fig. 2 ferner zeigt, ist die Maske 13 vor dem Verkleben aufgebracht, so das sie von dem Klebstoff 12 vollständig umschlossen wird. As further shown in FIG. 2, the mask 13 is applied prior to bonding, so that it is completely enclosed by the adhesive 12.
Fig. 1 zeigt eine Okularlinse 14 die proximal im Abstand vor dem proximalen Ende des Faserbildleiters 2 angeordnet ist. Mit ihr kann das auf der proximalen Stirnfläche 9 des Faserbildleiters 2 entstehende scharfe Bild betrachtet werden, zum Beispiel mit dem nackten Auge oder mit einer Kamera. 1 shows an eyepiece lens 14 which is arranged proximally at a distance in front of the proximal end of the fiber image guide 2. With her, this can be done on the proximal end face 9 of the Fiber image guide 2 resulting sharp image can be viewed, for example, with the naked eye or with a camera.
