  • Publication number: 20240032782
    Abstract: Provided is an endoscope tip or capsule endoscope comprising an illumination device configured to illuminate a scene; wherein the illumination device includes a first light source configured to emit light with a first spectral distribution and a second light source configured to emit light with a second spectral distribution; the first spectral distribution is different from the second spectral distribution; a clearance between the first light source and the second light source is smaller than twice a dimension among the dimensions of the first light source and the dimensions of the second light source; the clearance between the first light source and the second light source indicates the length of a shortest straight line segment which connects a point on the first light source with a point on the second light source.
