To the operation part 7, an air supply and water supply unit 9 provided with a storage tank 22 and the cylinder 23 is attached. The operation part 7 is provided with an air supply and water supply button 16. An air supply and water supply channel 26 is disposed so as to pass through the vicinity of a light source unit 35 provided on the distal end of the insertion part 6. When the air supply and water supply button 16 is not operated, a gas is supplied to the air supply and water supply channel 26. A regulator 46 for adjusting a pressure is provided on the supply port of the cylinder 23.
