The working principle of the hard endoscope series is to transmit images by using an image transfer lens optical technology and provide light transmission illumination by using an optical fiber. The working principle of the fiber endoscope series is that high-quality rhyme image fibers transmit images and the images are directly observed through an ocular lens.
