Abstract
An autoclavable laser beam manipulator, made of non-corrosive materials forming its elements which in turn contribute to a novel construction for this instrument that is used with endoscopes of all kinds. Aircraft grade aluminum forms elements such as housing and piston. Laser grade uncoated molybdenum forms the mirrored element mounted on the piston and disposed within a chamber for the housing. Glass-filled DELRON material forms a member which contributes to the adjustment of location and position of the mirrored element to change the direction of laser beam egress from the device, thus controlling such direction.
