Schott fibre-optic endoscope FPS-3 w/ case
This endoscope has a fibre optic illuminator with dual emitters, an air tube with built-in squeeze bulb, and a small metal knob of unknown function on the tip. The handle has an eyepiece, an aperture with a replaceable rubber membrane that may be for injecting substances, a knob that causes the tip to flex along one axis, and two gas connectors. The flexible part of the endoscope measures 14" long. A carrying case with sculpted foam interior is included.
When looking through the endoscope there's a slight smudge at the periphery of the field of view but no apparent dropouts; it may require a bit of cleaning. The illuminator's light pipe also conducted light correctly with no apparent dropouts. The flexible plastic and rubbed sleeve on the endoscope appears to be in excellent condtion.
