The human perception of the dimension of depth is due to a number of visual cues of which most important is binocular parallax.Human's optical system receives two visual signals from the eyes. Then the brain because of the fusion of these signals derive information about depth. This diploma thesis refers to the development of a stereoscopic system in endoscopy. Its implementation is based on our optical system ability to create the dimension of depth from the projection of a slightly different image of the same object in each eye.Due to the need to configure both constitute the stereoscopic pair in a suitable format to be able to project on the head-mounted display, an appropriate software is being developed. Furthermore the system is real time. Finally is increased the accuracy of diagnosis and movement in space, compared to two-dimensional endoscopic systems.
