Abstract: A strain relief device. The strain relief device includes: a lamella element with a base element with a through-opening, set up for feeding through a strand-shaped element substantially parallel to an axial direction, and a lamella which projects from the base element along the axial direction; a clamping body, annular in shape and arranged rotatably on the lamella element radially outside the lamella; wherein the lamella, in a front portion facing away from the base element, is ramp-shaped on its outer side facing the clamping body in the direction of rotation, with a distance to the through-opening that increases along the direction of rotation, and the clamping body has at least one projection projecting radially inward, couples with the front portion of the lamella when there is a rotation of the clamping body and displaces the lamella in a direction away from the clamping body.

Abstract: An endoscope having an endoscope shaft and a main body, which is connected to the endoscope shaft and on which a first dial that has a first contact surface is mounted in a rotatable manner, is provided. The main body has a second contact surface against which the first contact surface bears. The contact surfaces move against one another when the first dial is rotated. A first setting unit is provided, using which a pressure force with which the first contact surface is pressed against the second contact surface is settable in order to set a minimum torque that is necessary in order to rotate the first dial.

Abstract: A lens for a distal end of an optical channel of an endoscope shaft is provided, wherein the lens defines an outer side and an inner side as well as a circumferential surface connecting the two sides, wherein a light-absorbing coating is applied to the circumferential surface and an area of the inner side connected thereto, and wherein a solderable layer is applied to the light-absorbing coating in the area of the circumferential surface with the result that the lens can be soldered in the distal end such that the distal end is sealed.

Abstract: An endoscope includes a main unit and a shaft, connected to the main unit, which extends along a longitudinal axis. The shaft includes a jacket tube, an inner tube for receiving an objective lens, and a bundle of fibre-optic light guides. The inner tube includes, at a distal end, an inner tube head which includes a first bearing section and a second bearing section, which is connected to the first bearing section by a connecting element. The first bearing section includes a first bearing surface, against which the bundle of fibre-optic light guides abuts, and the second bearing section includes a second bearing surface, against which the bundle of fibre-optic light guides abuts, wherein, to align the bundle of fibre-optic light guides at the distal end, an area of the first bearing surface and/or an area of the second bearing surface run non-parallel to the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: An endoscope having an endoscope shaft and a main body, which is connected to the endoscope shaft and on which a first dial is mounted in a rotatable manner, is provided. A plastics seal is arranged between a first sealing surface of the first dial or of a first component connected to the first dial for conjoint rotation and a second sealing surface of the main body or of a second component connected to the main body for conjoint rotation. A thermoplastic is used as plastic.

Abstract: An endoscope is provided with an endoscope shaft and a main body connected to the endoscope shaft. The endoscope includes a camera connection to which an optical recording device can be mechanically fixed. The main body is electrically conductive. The camera connection includes an electric insulating body that electrically insulates an optical recording device, mechanically fixed to the camera connection, from the main body.
