[Intensive transillumination and spot-lighting with a new fiber optic light source (author's transl)].

An equipment for intensive transillumination is described which is able to provide approximate 8 fould higher angular emittance and 2.5 fould higher flux compared with customary used tools. The diameter of the fiber optic is about 1 mm and the angle of emittance of 30 or 60 degrees can be chosen. Even the experimental use of fiber optic with smaller diameter for intravitreal illumination has shown higher light intensity compared with other available light sources.
