    Abstract: Improved fluoresced imaging (FI) endoscope devices and systems are provided to enhance use of endoscopes with FI and visible light capabilities. An endoscope device is provided for endoscopy imaging in a white light and a fluoresced light mode. A chromatic adjustment assembly, typically implemented with prisms, compensates for a chromatic focal difference between the white light image and the fluoresced light image caused by the dispersive properties of the optical materials or optical design employed in the construction of the optical channel. The assembly is placed optically between the most proximal rod lens of the endoscope and the focusing optics, typically at an internal telecentric image space, to improve the chromatic correction. The prism assembly directs incoming light with different spectral content along separate paths which compensate for chromatic aberration.

    Abstract: A wide-angle lens includes a front group, an aperture, a rear group, and an infrared cut filter. The front group includes a first lens and a second lens arranged in order from a side closest to an object to an image side. In the wide-angle lens, an anti-reflection layer having a reflectance of 1.5% or less in a wavelength range from nm to 850 nm is provided on a lens surface of the first lens on the image side to suppress an occurrence of a ghost caused by light passing through a peripheral portion of the lens surface. Therefore, even if a film forming the anti-reflection layer is thinner than an appropriate value at the peripheral portion of the lens surface, the anti-reflection layer appropriately prevents reflection of light in a long wavelength range.
