Their article titled "A flexible fibrescope, using static scanning" was published in the journal Nature in 1954.

A bundle of fibers can be used to make a device called an endoscope or a fiberscope.

This is unlike a traditional borescope and fiberscope.

Once enclosed in a protective flexible jacket the 'fibroscope' (now more commonly called a fiberscope) was born.

A fiberscope is a flexible fiber optic bundle with an eyepiece at one end, and a lens at the other.

Industrial endoscopes (see fiberscope or borescope) are used for inspecting anything hard to reach, such as jet engine interiors.

The image quality of a videoscope is superior to a fiberscope and could be compared to that of a high-end Video Camcorder.

Perhaps one of the first exposures the public had to the fiberscope's use in counter-terrorism was the 1982 film Who Dares Wins, about the SAS.

Rosander rotated the fiberscope between the thumb and forefinger of his left hand, his other hand making adjustments to the eyepiece barrel to focus its color video image.

Fernando Alves Martins of Portugal applies optical fiber technology to a gastrocamera to produce the first such device with a flexible fiberscope, for use in esophagogastroduodenoscopy.

In 1964, Fernando Alves Martins (born 17 June 1927) of Portugal applied optical fiber technology to one of these early gastrocameras to produce the first gastrocamera with a flexible fiberscope.

Eventually a system for cladding fibers with a layer of glass of lower refractive index was developed (see Larry Curtis et al.) which reduced the leakage to such an extent that the full potential of the fiberscope was realized.

The instrument was a short fiberscope with a two-way maneuverable tip and was designed for use on the esophagus, but with it, Dr. Shinya was able to reach the splenic flexure--the first bend in the colon-about 50% of the time.

It is also known as a fiberscope and can be used to access cavities which are around a bend, such as a combustion chamber or "burner can", in order to view the condition of the compressed air inlets, turbine blades and seals without disassembling the engine.

The frequent failure of direct laryngoscopy to provide an adequate view for tracheal intubation led to the development of alternative devices such as the lighted stylet, and a number of indirect fiberoptic viewing laryngoscopes, such as the fiberscope, Bullard scope, Upsher scope, and the WuScope.
