ABSTRACT:
A biconvex rod lens for the optics assembly of a medical or technical endoscope comprises of a light transmitting rod and a correcting lens cemented to one end of the rod. The rod is provided with at least one cylindrical collar which is of greater diameter than the adjacent lengths of the rod, for supporting the rod lens on the inner surface of an internal tube in the shaft of the optics assembly. In order to avoid shear forces arising in the cemented joint between the rod and the correcting lens when the shaft and thus the tube are bent when the endoscope is in use, the correcting lens and the rod have, in the region of the cemented joint, a smaller diameter than the cylindrical collar or collars. Fracture of the rod lens is there by avoided.
