Endoscopic photography of the ear,nose, and throat

The ability to view and photograph the ears, nose, nasopharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx has been revolutionized by the advent of the flexible fiberoptic nasopharyngolaryngoscope. For the first time the otolaryngologist has a one-instrument capability for examination and photodocumentation of the structures with which the specialty deals. This should not imply that the conventional means of examination should be relegated to museums, but rather that a new instrument has been added to the diagnostic armamentarium. The real visual images may be readily adapted for photography. The author will detail a straightforward and inexpensive method for obtaining high quality color transparencies, and color and sound video tapes.
