摘要:
The endoscope (10) has a headpiece arranged at a proximal end of an elongated shaft (12). A light source (22) e.g. LED, is arranged in the shaft in a distal area and produces lost heat. A heat pipe (24) is arranged in the shaft and thermally coupled to the light source for dissipating the lost heat in a proximal direction. The heat pipe extends into the headpiece. A heat sink body (32) is arranged in the headpiece and thermally coupled to the heat pipe. The body absorbs the lost heat from the heat pipe and emits the lost heat to the environment directly or over a housing (16) of the headpiece.
