| [ Summary ] | Magnifying videoscopes equipped with an optical imaging system, unavailable in other conventional endoscopes, are capable of making detailed observations of the mucosa. In addition to improved basic performance, the maneuverability of the magnifying endoscope most recently developed by OLYIMPUS is as great as that of conventional normal endoscopes, thanks to the reduced scope diameter and the variable stiffness function. Furthermore, in addition to the increased quality of this magnifying endoscope, the EVIS LUCERA comes with several new features an HDTV system capable of performing practical electronic zooming and structural enhancements, adaptive IHb color enhancement processing to increase image clarity, and a pre-freeze function for attaining blur-free still images. Through the development of NBI (Narrow Band Imaging) technology that makes use of the light diffusing and light absorbing properties of living mucosa, more detailed magnifying observation has become possible, as mucosal images obtained are higher in contrast compared to ones taken under normal light. If the NBI technology is coupled with ECS (Endo-Cytoscope System), which achieves approx. a 1,100 magnification, the quality of magnifying observation will be further improved. |
