Olympus has been continuing to improve the resolution of its endoscope with each generation developed, and recently it commercialized highly practical magnifying endoscopes such as GIF‐Q24 0Z and CF‐Q240Z. However, the magnifying ratio and resolution of an endoscope are not defined officially by academic conferences. In addition, there is no united definition agreed among endoscope manufacturers. This document aims to explain the definitions of magnifying ratio, maximum magnifying ratio, resolution, and maximum resolution of electronic endoscopes, based on the definitions used by Olympus.
