The greenish tint cast of glass fiber illumination systems simulated a greenish coloration
of the amniotic fluid during initial experiments. Therefore, this type of illumination
was not considered suitable for amnioscopy. Using a procedure from colourmetrics,
various glass fiber illumination systems were compared. The “Endolux” Light Projector
10301 and the “Cold Light Fontäne Universal” are glass fiber illumination systems
which – expecially in the high switch steps – adequately meet the demands of amnioscopy.
