| [ Summary ] | The author was able to observe structural variation in gastric pits using a magnifying fiberscope FGS‒ML II in 1978, and developed a magnifying endoscopic classification of the gastric fine mucosal pattern. Since then, magnifying endoscopic diagnosis has become widely used, especially since 2000, with the introduction of advanced electronic endoscopes. | |
