  • Device for detecting transmission losses by means of measurements
    Patent number: 6862085
    Abstract: In a device for detecting transmission losses of optical light guide means (2) of an endoscope (3) by means of measurements, said optical light guide means (2) having an optical inlet portion (4) through which light from a light source (6) is transmitted to an optical outlet portion (8) of the means to be checked, said device comprising at least one light sensor (10) measuring the light intensity emerging from the optical outlet portion (8) of the means (2) to be checked, and an evaluation means (14) for the signal of the at least one light sensor (10), said evaluation means (14) having a display means (18) for displaying the measurement result, it is provided that the at least one light sensor (10) is arranged in a chamber (20), that the optical outlet portion (8) of the light guide means (2) to be checked is adapted to be introduced through an opening (22) of the chamber (20) into the chamber (20), and that the inner surface (24) defining the chamber (20) diffusely reflects the light emerging from the optic
