The capsule endoscope NORIKA system consists of;
1. Micro capsule CCD camera,
2. External controller to wirelessly control and operate the capsule, and
3. Coil-embedded vest for power transmission and direction control
The dimension of a capsule camera is 9mm in diameter and 23mm in length. The case is made of resin. Inside the capsule, 3 rotor-coils for posture control are located surrounding the capsule. Around the camera lens, magnetic coils for focus adjustment and 4 LEDs are placed. In addition, at the centered space area, 2 tanks with valves are prepared. Lastly, a capacitor to store electric power and a microwave video signal transmitter make the NORIKA capsule complete.
