1. An endoscope assembly, the assembly comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical fluid channeling component having a length and a height, the fluid channeling component having, along said height, a first fraction and a second fraction, wherein;
the first fraction extends along the length of the fluid channeling component, and comprises a housing that has encased therein a first working channel extending along the length of said fluid channeling component,the second fraction is a void, anda second working channel of the fluid channeling component is on an opposite side of the void relative to the first working channel;
an electrical assembly configured to fit within said second fraction, wherein the electrical assembly comprises;
one or more cameras,an integrated circuit board having mounted thereon the one or more cameras, andone or more illuminators; and
a tip cover section configured to receive said fluid channeling component and said electrical assembly, wherein the tip section comprises;
one or more working channel ports, each of the one or more working channel ports being configured to align with one of said first and second working channels of the fluid channeling component,one or more camera ports, each of the one or more camera ports being configured to align with one of said one or more cameras, andone or more illuminator ports, wherein each of the one or more illuminator ports comprises an optical window, and each of the one or more illuminator ports is configured to align with one of said one or more illuminators.
