Abstract:
1. A contact measuring endoscope apparatus, comprising: a case being located at a front end of the contact measuring endoscope apparatus to define a accommodating space therein; a contact probe being integrally connected to and forward projected from an end of the case; a light emitting element being capable of emitting light therefrom; an image pickup lens being arranged in the accommodating space of the case for gathering the light emitted from the light emitting element, irradiated on and then reflected from an external object, so as to form an optical image; a light sensor being arranged in the accommodating space of the case to locate adjacent to one side of the image pickup lens for converting the optical image into a digital image; and a measuring module for measuring the digital image of a fixed scale, so as to accordingly obtain at least one of the lengths, widths and areas of different parts of the digital image; wherein the contact probe having a predetermined fixed length is caused to contact the object, so that a fixed distance between the image pickup lens and the object can be maintained and therefore the digital image is in the fixed scale.
