ABSTRACT:
A hand held endoscopic apparatus consists of a body, a camera and a removable and interchangeable objective element capable of presenting an image of an object to the camera. The objective element may be either rigid, or deformable, and may enable viewing of an image at varying angles to the longitudinal axis of the handpiece. The endoscope is capable of presenting an image for real-time viewing or for recording and play back at a later time. The camera is rotatably mounted within the body to allow rotation of the image presented for viewing. The endoscope is fully immersible in liquid media, for example sterilizing liquid, and is provided with an optically transparent sheath capable of isolating the endoscope from the working environment.
