Upper GI endoscopy is visual examination of the esophagus and stomach.It is called - GastroscopyThe medical term meaning visual examination of the esophagus and stomach is a Gastroscopy. During this procedure, a thin and flexible fibre optic tube with a camera on the end is passed through the mouth, down the oesophagus and into the stomach. The images from the camera are shown on a monitor which the doctor can see throughout the procedure.
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".
No, abdominocentesis is the surgical puncture of the abdomen.
The abdominal cavity can be examined in a couple of different ways. The procedure to directly visualize the abominal cavity is called a laparotomy, and a laparoscopy is a procedure where the abdominal cavity is visualized using scopes.

Speculum is also the term used for similar instruments to view the inside of the nose and other orifices.

Wow, to put in basic terms, the 'food pipe' is te esophagus, and the machine to which you are referring is actually a fiber optic camera called an endoscope. It allows for visual diagnosis as well as intervention in esophageal, gastric, duodenal, liver, and pancreatic disease.
