Who uses the endoscope?
An endoscope is basically a long thin tube with a light and a camera at the end. Doctors can insert this down your oesophagus to study your digestive tract, or down your trachea to study your breathing system. It can be useful for diagnosing tumours, ulcers, inflammation or other irregularities. During "key-hole" surgery, such as removing gall stones, surgeons can use an endoscope to help guide them to the target area. However, there are risks associated with using an endoscope, such as infection, or punctured organs.

Special instruments can be inserted into the endoscope to remove gallstones, take samples of tissue for further examination (e.g., in the case of suspected cancer),
Why does an endoscope contain several optical fibers?
Formerly, endoscope optics consisted of a series of thin converging "relay lenses", creating a succession of images in the air spaces between them. Following the innovation by Harold H Hopkins, the thin lenses in air were replaced by thin air lenses in glass. In other words, each lens consisted of a rod, with convex polished surfaces at each end. This increased the light throughput, and avoided the metal spacer rings needed in the old design. Some endoscopes instead use bundles of fiber optics to convey the image, which renders them flexible.
What Is an instrument used for visual examination of the stomach?
The instrument is called, in general, an Endoscope. There are a variety of versions for specific examinations; for example the Gastroscope for examining the esophagus and stomach; the Proctosigmoidoscope and Colonoscope for examining the colon; the Cystoscope for examining the urinary tract; the Arthroscope for examining joints; and several other variations. My favorite exam name (I love its tongue-twisting length) is "Endoscope-assisted Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography".
