Abstract
An endoscope has an improved chip-on-tip configuration that includes both a first configuration of source illumination fibers and a second plurality of source illumination fibers, along with a camera chip. The combination of the camera chip and the source illumination fibers on the tip of the endoscope results in endoscopes with reduced size and weight.
