What can you do with it ?
1) Keep it as is. It is a very rare and expensive item, that usually only hospitals have access to.
2) Resell it and buy a fibrescope with an eyepiece or a built-in camera with a standard video output. It could be useful for teardowns.
3) Try to find the other box which goes with it (a failure of said box may be the reason why yours was so cheap).
4) Try to find the pinout of the connector, as it may carry composite/VGA/DVI signals, of course it needs to be waterproof so a standard connector can obviously not be used.
5) The camera unit may just contain a CCD sensor with the readout electronics in the external box, in this case you may try opening (and destroying) the camera box to get access to the optics, and look into it with your eyes or a webcam
I think you should not destroy the fiber optics part, it's a very expensive marvel of technology, transmitting live picture with fiber optics and no electronics.
What makes it so expensive are all the certification that it can go repeatedly into human body, not to mention there aren't a lot of companies making them. Tech inside would probably be very boring. Aside from build quality and robustness I doubt it's much different from something like car diagnostics camera
Whilst just having my throat spay anaesthetised and something like that thing passed down into my stomach, about 10 years ago, all I kept thinking about was: What was it used for before my use, was it sterile, what if a part fell off, and is the doctor going to accidentally push it hard into my stomach wall. Even though no issues were found (thank goodness), and the experience was OKish - I was very pleased when it was removed and I could go home.
Definitely try it 😁
Nowadays these things can be made so small, they even fit into salivary ducts. A friend told me.
Yeah. Where that thing goes, there are tons of bacteria. I would not touch it unless it had been soaking in some disinfectant for days, nor would I tear into it. Keep and display it.
Well if the doctor inserts the square box part too, he's doing it wrong 😱

Those bacteria are everywhere anyway.
Test and demonstrate it. After teardown it probably is not in good order any longer
Teardown? Keep? Sell?
Why not start up a bootleg gastrointestinal diagnostic outfit?
I'm already busy as a bootleg cardiologist with those 200+ vintage pacemakers I need to re-implant.
OMG !
Sell it and buy a heap over other stuff to teardown
There is nothing interesting in it, you can use it to explore some other devices, which have difficult to reach areas and gain more interesting views.
It needs the two bulky extra boxes to work, while compact and ready to use USB endoscopes can be found cheap from China :-/
@@msylvain59 in this case you can disassemble them, no doubt
Imagine the smell
