Study Notes
Endoscopy Components and Functions
- The primary function of the fibre optic system in endoscopy is to transmit light from the light source to the tip of the endoscope, illuminating the area being examined.
Image Capture and Display
- The purpose of the image capture system in endoscopy is to capture and display the images from the area being examined.
- The primary function of a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) chip and supporting electronics mounted at the tip of an endoscope is to capture and convert the optical image into an electrical signal.
Optical Viewing Bundle
- An optical viewing bundle used in endoscopy typically contains thousands of fine glass fibers.
Light Source
- The purpose of the light source in endoscopy is to provide illumination for the area being examined, allowing for visualization of the internal structures.
Direct Viewing
- The fibre optic system allows for direct viewing without the need for a monitor.
