Abstract

The present invention is to provide a capsular endoscope which has a predetermined marker indwelled for a desired region of a lesion or the like discovered using the capsular endoscope so as to easily discover the region in the reexamination or the like. To this end, the capsular endoscope in accordance with the present invention is characterized in that, in the capsular endoscope comprising at least an image pickup optical system, illuminating means, image pickup means and a circuit board, it has marking means for indwelling a marker member in a body cavity.
