The RigidScan is a highly versatile, easy-to-use instrument that is used to identify damage to the optical system of most rigid endoscopes constructed with rod lenses. Specifically, the RigidScan consists of a holding tube and a magnified lens, making it possible to hold and manipulate rigid endoscopes while checking for cracked lenses, foreign bodies, and dust on the lens surfaces.
The instrument has been designed for use by biomedical engineers, field service engineers, and third-party repair organizations as a portable troubleshooting instrument to diagnose fractures, mechanical damage, and dirt particles that may impair the quality of the viewed image of the endoscope.
