(canceled)
An endoscopic visualization system, comprising:
- an endoscope subsystem comprising:
- an endoscope having an optical channel and an illumination channel;
- an image sensor configured to be coupled to the endoscope to receive light from the optical channel;
- a light source configured to be coupled to transmit light through the illumination channel;
- and
- a monitor subsystem comprising:
- a rear cover;
- a frame defining an inner compartment;
- a display screen attached to the frame;
- and
- a first port configured to receive a first electrical cable connected to the endoscopic subsystem.
The endoscopic visualization system of 2, wherein the monitor subsystem further comprises a light source driver.
An endoscopic visualization system, comprising:
- an endoscope subsystem comprising:
- an endoscope body having a longitudinal axis and an optical channel and an illumination channel;
- an image sensor configured to be coupled to the endoscope to receive light from the optical channel;
- a light source configured to be coupled to the endoscope body at a position perpendicular to the longitudinal axis to transmit light through the illumination channel;
- and
- a monitor subsystem comprising a display screen configured to display an image from the image sensor.
The endoscopic visualization system of 17, wherein the monitor subsystem further comprises a light source driver.
