Fiber optic image guides (tapers) are one of the most important
elements used to build many optoelectronic Instruments for technical
purposes and medicine. Application of these elements has croated
entirely new technical possibilities for image processing. They are
applied in X- ray units, apparatuses for endoscopy, LLLTV cameras as
Well as in modern types of night vision devices. The images obtained
with the use of image guides may be observed in real time on
a television monitor. The images feature high resoution and contrast.
The other advantage may also be pointed out, such as the possibility
to register and edit the image with the use of computer or the
possibility to reduce the exposure tme and intensity in X-ray units.
