Abstract
To improve the imaging while simultaneously simplifying the manufacturing of a rigid endoscope (), an inversion system () is used as a relay optical unit for the image transfer from an objective () to a proximally arranged camera unit () of the endoscope (). The inversion system has an odd number of a first type A of rod lenses () and an even number of a second type B of rod lenses (), which are each arranged on half of the inversion system () with respect to a center plane () of the inversion system ().
