Well a colonoscope is actually an endoscope, just one meant for colonoscopies. Endoscope is just a generic term for the tool. (endo- = inside/within, -scope = tool for viewing)

The endoscopy scope and the colonoscopy scope are the same scope.

How do you tell the difference between an oral endoscope and a rectal scope? The taste.

That’s correct! I recognise the lasso that as the thing used to sample polyps in the colon (and probably a bunch of other uses, totally including snagging chippie packets).
