Abstract

The invention relates to a device which includes a micro-endoscope (2) and a micromanipulator (4) precision movement system (3). The micro-endoscope comprises a body, an ultrafine endoscopic probe (11), and an optical connection part (12), which is connected to the body (8) of the endoscope via an optical line and to an image capture and display device. The endoscopic probe (11) includes a tubular sheath that surrounds an illumination channel (16) and an image channel (17) containing ultrafine optical fibers (20), as well as an operating channel (18) used for passing instruments therethrough. Said channels extend into the body of the micro-endoscope (2) and, in the case of the illumination channel (16) and the image channel (17), up to the optical connection part (12). In an alternative embodiment, a digital camera and portable microcomputer are used. The invention is useful for human and veterinary medicine, as well as for corresponding scientific laboratory research.
