Abstract
An arrangement for sterile handling of a non-sterile endoscope in a sterile environment includes a sterile endoscope sheath having an optical element arranged at its distal end, and a non-sterile endoscope. The optical element has a light-reflecting element or a light-reflecting area which reflects detection light emitted by the detection light source as reflection light toward a proximal end of the endoscope sheath. The non-sterile endoscope includes an endoscope shaft, an illumination optical system, and an observation optical system. The non-sterile endoscope is received in the endoscope sheath.
