The tube peeper: a new concept in endoscopy

In conventional endoscopy the imaging device has to rotated to produce a full 360° image. A new ‘tube peeper’ has been devised that can view the whole panoramic field simultaneously. The image produced has flat cylinder perspective rather than the familiar central convergence perspective. The device...

Zusammenfassung:In conventional endoscopy the imaging device has to rotated to produce a full 360° image. A new ‘tube peeper’ has been devised that can view the whole panoramic field simultaneously. The image produced has flat cylinder perspective rather than the familiar central convergence perspective. The device is simpler to manufacture than conventional ones, and has the potential for miniaturization
