ABSTRACT:
An endoscopic apparatus according to the present invention comprises an endoscope insertable in an object of inspection, an apparatus body capable of being removably fixed to the object of inspection, the apparatus body including a fixing section capable of being fixed to the endoscope and a retaining section for holding the fixing section, the retaining section including rotation restraining mechanism for restraining the rotation of the fixing section and a moving mechanism capable of linearly moving the fixing section, a movement detecting section for detecting the movement of the fixing section, a video signal converting section for converting a monitor image of a subject region in the object of inspection, observed by means of the endoscope, into a video signal, and an instrumentation unit including a video signal receiving section for receiving the video signal from the video signal converting section, a storage section for storing video information delivered to the video signal receiving section and detected information delivered from the movement detecting section, and computing means for effecting three-dimensional instrumentation for the subject region in accordance with the video information and the detected information for each position of the endoscope moved together with the fixing section by the moving mechanism.
