摘要:
The distal end of an endoscope is provided with at least an objective optical system and a torque transmission member for supporting a rotating treatment member. The distal end of the torque transmission member comprises a hollow to which a support axis formed in the rotating treatment member is fitted, a slit for guiding a protrusion formed on the external circumference of the support axis, and a locking member for locking the protrusion in the slit. Torque is transmitted from the torque transmission member to the rotating treatment member by means of the protrusion formed on the external circumference of the support axis of the rotating treatment member and the slit formed on the torque transmission member for guiding the protrusion.

An eddy current flaw detecting endoscope apparatus has an endoscope having an elongate insertable part and an objective optical system provided on the tip side of the insertable part. A flaw detecting device is provided on the tip side of the endoscope. A signal processing device processes a signal for the flaw detecting device. An eddy current flaw detecting apparatus detects a flaw in an object to be inspected and generates a flaw detecting signal. A controlling device generates a control signal controlling a controlled device with a flaw detecting signal of the eddy current flaw detecting apparatus.

The measuring endoscope includes a device for producing interference fringes, a device for projecting the interference fringes onto a surface of an object to be measured, a device for scanning the interference fringes, an imaging device for reading vibrations of brightness on the surface of the object to be measured which are caused by the scanning of the interference fringes and a processing device capable of determining depths of concavities and heights of convexities on the surface the measured object by calculating data output from the imaging device. This measuring endoscope makes it possible to determine accurately the location of internal diseases within organs of human bodies, defects in gas pipes and so on.

A position and orientation state pickup is designed to detect the position and orientation state of an endoscope inserted into a living body without any adverse effect on the living body, which is often observed in X-ray analysis. The position and orientation state pickup, generating an electro-magnetic field with frequency at least lower than the visible ray range toward the body from outside; detects influence of the endoscope inserted into the body on two-dimensional energy distribution of the electro-magnetic field generated toward the body; and show the position and orientation state of the endoscope from the detection results.
