AB - xc EVALUATIO N OF PHOTOGRAPHIC METHODS IN THE ENDOSCOPIC STUDY OF THE AI R AN D FOOD PASSAGES CHEVALIE R L. JACKSON, M.D. PHILADELPHIA , PA. Th e principal types of apparatus available for endoscopic photog­ raph y at the present time are the Holinger-Brubaker type 1 (Fig. 1) using co-axial lighting through an open tube, and the French type developed by Fourestier, Gladu and Vulmière2 (Fig. 2) , with the co-operation of the French government, which uses a quartz rod to transmi t light from a proximal source. There are advantages and disadvantages to both systems. No better pictures will ever be taken tha n those taken by Holinger, but the large endoscopic tubes neces­ sar y limit the procedure somewhat, and besides, the apparatus is heavy to hold. The French type of apparatus uses tubes of the regular size, and hence can be used more routinely or, to use the word of Max Fourestier, "universally." Almost any still or motion picture camera can be used wit h the quartz rod-lighted endoscopes, provided a simple adapte r is used to steady the camera rigidly in relation to the telescope, and center the image. Of course, reflex-type cameras are
