Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0110292A1] An endoscope (1) for use in minimally invasive surgery, comprises an inspection tube (2), provided with a light source (8). A lens (3) is positioned on an angularly adjustable lens holder (4) at the distal part of the inspection tube (2). A control organ (5), at the proximal end of the inspection tube (2) is coupled with the lens holder (4) for its adjustment in relation to the inspection tube. The light source (8) is positioned near the distal end at such a distance from the lens holder (4), that silhouettes perceivable by the lens (3) can be formed.
