Abstract
An optical condensing device for use in combination with an optical imaging system to provide an image with improved contrast and resolution. The device uses a shaped fiber optic bundle coupled to a source of illumination to provide a plurality of coherent point sources, each of which is incoherent to each other, to illuminate the aperture of the optical system. The relative incoherence of each point source is achieved by varying the length of fibers in the shaped bundle so that no fiber is within the coherence length of any other fiber.
