A fiberoptic includes a guide for light or other electromagnetic energy which has a single fiber core with a ring-shaped cross-section and defines an outer cylindrical surface and an inner cylindrical surface. A cylindrical central hollow channel extends between the ends of the fiberoptic through the center of the single fiber ring-shaped core. Various devices including coherent fiber viewing bundles, hollow tubular transport channels and the like may be slidingly disposed through the center channel of the core.
