The lenses are also equipped with three rings that make it possible to adjust focus, zoom, and iris (aperture) independently, and all of the operation rings have a uniform gear pitch*** of 0.8 M (module). The lenses are comfortable to operate as the focus rings are designed to rotate across a wide range of 200 degrees, which makes precise focusing possible. Although a resin material suited to miniaturization and weight reduction is used on the exterior, the material is given an external finish reminiscent of the high-quality texture of tools used by pros, making the lenses a pleasure to own.

■ Ultrasonic processor(SP-900) / control pad (CP-900) / scanner (RS-900)”
An ultrasonic processor connected to an ultrasonic probe*4, configured from a processor (SP-900), a control pad (CP-900), and a scanner (RS-900). When used in combination with an electronic endoscope system, this device makes ultrasonic observation in examinations possible via the insertion of a probe for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves through a forceps-like opening of an endoscope. In design development, the device was designed integrated with the endoscope LASEREO 7000 System using a distinct design created by a seamless enclosure composed of gently curved surfaces and a display unit for summarizing information.
*4 A transducer that receives and transmits ultrasonic waves.
