Single fibre endoscope
Caption The Wellman team demonstrated the endoscope's validity by imaging metastatic ovarian tumour nodules on the abdominal wall of a live mouse. A 350 µm diameter optical-fibre probe was inserted into the animal's abdominal cavity through a modified 23-gauge needle. The resulting black-and-white images showed a number of raised tumour nodules.
