Remote imaging system for medical endoscopic system for viewing a target

An imaging system for a medical endoscopic system for viewing a target including:

• a medical endoscopic system including an insertion instrument terminating, opposite a proximal part, in a distal head, this insertion instrument being provided with at least one multicore optical fiber having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end of the multicore optical fiber being located at the distal head of the insertion instrument while the multicore optical fiber is provided with an optical connector at its proximal end and extends at least all the way to the proximal part of the insertion instrument;
• a device for acquiring and processing images including:
• at least a first illumination source configured to deliver a light beam in at least a first wavelength spectrum, to the multicore optical fiber via the optical connector;
• at least one imaging sensor configured to receive a light beam coming from at least the proximal end of the multicore optical fiber;
• an imaging processor connected to the imaging sensor and configured to form images of the target.
