the procedure is called laryngoscopy. it can be either indirect or direct. a direct laryngoscopy uses a laryngoscope (basically a large metal tongue blade with a light source at the tip) to visualize the larynx.

A laryngoscope is the instrument, laryngoscopy is the procedure.

Laryngoscopy is an examination that lets your doctor look at the back of your throat, your voice box (larynx), and vocal cords with a scope (laryngoscope).

If done with a rigid scope, it is called laryngoscopy. When done with a flexible scope threaded through the nose, it is called nasopharyngolaryngoscopy.

I think you probably mean a laryngoscope.
