ABSTRACT:
A thermographic endoscope having an insert part that is inserted into a body cavity. The thermographic endoscope includes an infrared image forming device disposed in the distal end of the insert part so as to form an infrared image of a part under inspection, and a device for transmitting the infrared image formed by the infrared image forming device to the outside of the insert part. The thermographic endoscope further includes a device for converting the infrared image, which is transmitted by the infrared image transmitting device, into a visible image and for displaying the visible image, and a device for injecting low-temperature gas outwardly from the distal end of the insert part of the endoscope.
