Abstract
A beam splitting device for a distal end of an endoscope, the beam splitting device comprising a first prism with a first entrance surface, a first internal incident surface, and a first exit surface; and a second prism with a second entrance surface and a second exit surface; and a dichroic beam splitting layer. The first exit surface of the first prism and the second entrance surface of the second prism are adjacent and the dichroic beam splitting layer is arranged between the surfaces so incoming beams comprising first and second spectral regions are reflected by the first internal incident surface of the first prism, incident on the first exit surface of the first prism and are split by the dichroic beam splitting layer into beams of the first spectral region and the second spectral region. An objective system and an endoscope with the beam splitting device are also presented.
