A cooling structure of a heat-generating electronic component including a cooling circuit, which includes a cooling fluid delivery unit, a first heat exchanger for absorbing and discharging thermal energy at the heat-generating electronic component as well as a control structure. The control structure adjusts the cooling fluid flow and thus the cooling capacity of the heat exchanger to such value that at a predetermined temperature in the area of the electronic component a balance is brought about between the heat quantity generated and the heat quantity discharged. The cooling structure is inserted in the deflecting forming a bendable adapter outside the end cap of an endoscope.

Cooling means for electronic components preferably of an endoscope

A pressure gauge is composed of two separate components adapted to be assembled and disassembled by hand. The one component is a pressure-motion conversion element () for receiving a pressure and effecting a movement of a movable portion () thereof in response thereto, and the other component is a force measuring element () for measuring a force caused due to the movement of the movable portion (). The pressure-motion conversion element () is constructed as a disposable component, whereas the force measuring element () is intended for re-use.
