Summary:A control unit 4 for an endoscope, particularly one for controlling a flow of gas and/or liquid across an optical surface of a scope via a channel device and a scope accessory. The control unit 4 comprises a single gas inlet for receiving a supply of gas; a gas line gas output for outputting a first output of gas from the supply of gas to cause the flow of gas across the optical surface; and a wash line gas output for outputting a second output of gas from the supply of gas to cause the flow of liquid across the optical surface. The control unit 4 may have binary or variable valves controlling the gas flow to each output. The control unit 4 may be pre-programmed with routines for controlling the gas flow through the outputs.
