Fiber-optic endoscope
A fiber-optic endoscope is a medical device used to examine the inside of the body, such as the digestive tract, lungs, or other hollow organs. It consists of thin, flexible tubes made of many tiny fiber-optic strands that transmit light and images. The device allows doctors to see inside the body without surgery by guiding the endoscope through natural openings or small incisions. The fiber-optic technology provides high-quality illumination and clear images, helping doctors diagnose and sometimes treat conditions directly during the procedure.
