ABSTRACT:
A heat dissipating turret for a fiberoptic illuminator includes first turret component composed of a heat conducting material and a second turret component composed of a heat insulating material. The first turret component is releasably interengaged with the front panel of the illuminator and the second turret component is releasably attached to the first turret component. The turret components include respective interior light transmitting channels that communicate when the components are interengaged. The second turret component includes a receptacle for receiving the end fitting of a fiberoptic cable. Light from the illuminator is transmitted through the communicating channels to the fiberoptic cable and the turret components dissipate heat that is generated at the focal point of the illuminator.
