Abstract
An eddy current flaw detecting endoscope apparatus has an endoscope having an elongate insertable part and an objective optical system provided on the tip side of the insertable part. A flaw detecting device is provided on the tip side of the endoscope. A signal processing device processes a signal for the flaw detecting device. An eddy current flaw detecting apparatus detects a flaw in an object to be inspected and generates a flaw detecting signal. A controlling device generates a control signal controlling a controlled device with a flaw detecting signal of the eddy current flaw detecting apparatus.
