Image Guide

Image guide, which consists of thousands to tens of thousands of optical fibers(element fibers), can transmit directly an image to a remote end. The image on the distal end of the guide is divided into each element fiber, then transmitted from one end to the other. The basic fiberscope is composed of an image guide, objective lenses and eyepiece. SEI is supplying the image guides to industrial and medical fiberscope manufacturers in the world.
