Abstract
A medical imaging device such as an endoscope or exoscope is presented. The device has a light source for illuminating a viewing area and an image sensor, and may include a shaft having a distal section, a proximal section, an end face arranged on the distal section. The light source and the image sensor are accommodated in a common compartment at the distal section of the shaft and an operating heat emitted by the light source and/or by the image sensor is dissipated by means of a heat sink. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for controlling and/or regulating a medical imaging device in response to the generated heat exceeding a predetermined threshold.
