The present invention provides a panoramic endoscope detachably coupled to an end part of a medical and industrial endoscope. The present invention relates to a detachable endoscope designed in an ultra-thin type, capable of converting a sight by withdraw/reception and rotation of a camera pod, and securing a minimum focus distance when performing a side surface photography. The detachable endoscope has a basic structure comprising: a stator ring (10) capable of being coupled to or separated from an end part of a conventional endoscope insertion tube; a rotor ring (20) coupled to the stator ring to the rotated; and at least one pod arm (30) mounted on the rotor ring. Moreover, the detachable endoscope comprises a camera (31) and a lighting source (32). The camera (31) is directed toward an inner surface of the pod arm and photographs the opposite side with respect to a central axial line of the insertion tube while changing a photographing viewpoint by rotation of the rotor ring. The lighting source (32) emits light to the exterior surface of the pod arm not to prevent a sight of the camera. The detachable endoscope is able to conveniently be detached and attached for use while minimizing an increased amount of thickness of the conventional endoscope tube. Also, the camera lens is able to secure a minimum focus distance since the camera lens is not in contact with a photographed surface such as an inner wall of a large intestine, includes the light source providing no interruption to the view of the camera, and has a function to remove impurities such that the entire surroundings at 360 degrees can easily and rapidly be photographed in a panoramic type view while securing an original function of a front side photographing endoscope. |
