ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed herein an endoscope system which includes an endoscope, specifically a laryngoscope, having a handle, a blade connected with the handle and means including an optical eyepiece through which an area immediately in front of the distal end of the blade may be viewed along the optical axis of the eyepiece. The system also utilizes an arrangement including a camera and monitor for displaying the area immediately in front of the blade when the camera is mounted to the eyepiece. A coupling member connectable to the camera is provided for mounting the camera to the eyepiece and locking means forming part of the coupling member and part of the eyepiece is provided for preventing the coupling member and therefore the camera from rotating in a plane normal to the optical axis of the eyepiece and for preventing the coupling member and therefore the camera from rocking in a plane parallel with the optical axis.
