Abstract
A circuit board design uses CMOS sensors for the tip section of a multi-viewing element endoscope. Side sensors and their optical assemblies are assembled to a common base board to save space. Individual base boards are separately constructed, inserted into grooves of a main base board, and are further connected to the main base board by means of flexible circuit boards.

1-21. (canceled)
An endoscope system comprising:
- a front pointing viewing element, a first side pointing viewing element, and a second side pointing viewing element,
- a circuit board assembly comprising:
- a first base board to which the front pointing viewing element is connected;
- a second base board including a first side and a second side opposite the first side, wherein the first side pointing viewing element is connected to the first side of the second base board, and wherein the second side pointing viewing element is facing a direction opposite the first side pointing viewing element and is connected to the second side of the second base board;
- and
- a third base board to which said first and said second base boards are connected, wherein said first and second base boards are placed transverse to said third base board;
- and
- a fluid channeling component including at least one fluid channel.
