<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope capable of securing a wide view field without reducing operability in observation and procedure. <P>SOLUTION: The endoscope 1 includes: an imaging section 10 provided at a distal end; a support tube 60 fixed to the imaging section 10; a traction tube 80 retreating/advancing relative to the support tube 60 and having a bending rigidity higher than that of the support tube 60; and a connecting part 90 bendably connecting the traction tube 80 and the imaging section 10. The endoscope can change the imaging direction of the imaging section 10 by making the traction tube 80 retreat relative to the support tube 60 and bending the support tube 60. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
