An endoscope is a type of medical equipment used in hospitals to look into other peoples bodies before they have an operation. It is made out of fibre optics and so would also make it easier in an hospital for emergency calls because you use the fibre optic stuff in phone calls.

Correction
I am a second year veterinary nursing student and I was searching for information on endoscopes for a report I'm having to write and thought this was a rather cute answer.
Just thought I'd post up what I found elsewhere and I hope it helps you :)
Fibre optics are small pieces of glass that have the ability to transmit light. They are ideal for use in an endoscope as they can act as both a light source and a camera. They are also small and flexible, meaning that an endoscope can be guided inside the body easily and without causing the patient any pain.
Surgical instruments can also be passed down the tube of an endoscope, such as a tiny blade, which can be used to remove tissue during a biopsy. Pulses of heat and electricity can also be sent down the endoscope, which can be used to destroy unwanted tissue or growths, such as small tumours or gallstones.

How can an endoscope be made?
Personally, i don't want to know why your wanting to make an endoscope. It doesn't feel nice in the first place to get one and im not sure you would get the right meds to feel ok in doing it. Besides that im guessing, you might use a mini camera inside a very smooth tube with fibre optics attached to a light source to give enough light. Use some sort of oil or butter to lube the tubing, don't eat before doing it, otherwise you might see lunch, unless that's what you want. oh well, that's it. Squelchybeats, weirded out.
What is the difference between made of and made from?
"Made of" and "Made from" can mean the same thing. "That can is made from aluminum." "That can is made of aluminum." However, they can't be used the same in every situation. You can say: "That house is made of wood and made from workers." But you can't say: "That house is made of workers and made from wood."
