Swallowing A Camera.
A tiny camera is being .... I for taking photographs of the inside of the stomach. The camera has actually to be swallowed, or introduced through the throat into the stomach, where it takes sixteen little stereoscopic snapshots of the interior one after the other. The camera is provided with its own electric light, which is so arranged that it throws the light on to whatever part of the stomach is facing the lens. These photographs are beautifully clear, and can be enlarged hundreds of times, jiroviding the surgeon with a series of photographs which are of the greatest value in medical treatment.
