ABSTRACT:
The endoscopic instrument has a long, stretched out shaft (5) and at least one rod-shaped lens (6) arranged therein. The rod lens (6) is provided on its peripheral surfaces (10) with a coating that increases the breaking strength. The coating may be, for example, polyimide, amorphous carbon, or silicon-oxide carbide. To increase adhesion of the coating the rod lens may be pretreated with caustic on its peripheral surfaces.
