Abstract
Using a new instrument named video microscope, we observed resected stomach by magnifying the mucosal surface. Foveolar or sulciolar patterns were found under ×50 magnification. However, under ×200 magnification, we observed changing of the sulciolar pattern because of appearance of new pit-like lesions. The new pit-like lesions were found to be equivalent to interstitial parts in the mucosal layer. We think that this new instrument is useful in many medical fields because of the higher magnification than stereomicroscope.
