<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope which can decrease as much as possible a sence of incongruity on inserting properties for an operator among the endoscope with changable hardness and other types. SOLUTION: This endoscope system at least has a first endoscope 2 provided with a hardness controlling mechanism for controlling the hardness of a flexible part and a second endoscope 102 having the same object for use as the object for use of the first endoscope 2. In this case, the constitution is made in such a way that the hardness of the flexible part 113 of the second endoscope 102 is within the range for controlling the hardness of the flexible part 13 of the first endoscope 2 and, in case of using properly each of the endoscopes 2 and 102, it is possible for an operator to decrease as much as possible a sence of incongruity on inserting properties and to be convenient for use.</p> |
