Abstract :
The application of micro electro mechanical systems in the field of biomedical engineering is a new technological field, which accords with minimally invasive surgery. Applying a micro motor, with a diameter of only 2 mm, as the driving device of this system, the authors present a new type of medical endoscope whose diagnosing tube front tip can work automatically
