ABSTRACT:
An illumination assembly for a medical diagnostic instrument, includes an open ended lamp housing, an incandescent lamp disposed within the housing. A peripheral sealing member is disposed in intimate contact with the exterior surface of the lamp envelope such that initial energization of said lamp causes the sealing member to create a substantial fluid-tight seal with the lamp to protect the interior of the housing, including the electrical contacts of the assembly.
