ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for viewing a region comprises a hollow member elongated between a proximal end and a distal end configured to be inserted into the region, an optical element disposed in the distal end, and an image detector disposed adjacent to the optical element. The optical element and the image detector are arranged for relative rotation. The apparatus is particularly well-suited for use in an endoscope, and in particular with an endoscope having an off-axis field of view.
