Abstract
The electronic endoscope has an endoscope shaft () and an electronics housing (), and also an optical waveguide () having optical fibers (). The endoscope shaft () is formed on the electronics housing () or connected thereto, the electronics housing () being closed so as to be vapor-tight and liquid-tight from outside. The optical waveguide () extends between a distal end () of the endoscope shaft (), directed away from the electronics housing (), and a light source () arranged in the electronics housing (). The optical waveguide () has, at its proximal end (), an optical waveguide connector (), with which a light exit point () from the electronics housing () is closed off in a vapor-tight and liquid-tight manner.
