<p>An endoscope (1) includes a bending section (40) formed to be bendable by aligning a plurality of substantially cylindrical node rings (41, 51) and coupling the adjoining node rings (41, 51) to each other to allow them to swivel, a flexible section (20) directly coupled to the bending section (40) by fitting a distal end (20a) thereof into a proximal end side node ring (51) arranged on the most proximal end side of the bending section (40), an operation wire (90) that is inserted into the flexible section (20) and the bending section (40) and operates the bending section (40), and a wire guide section (91) that guides the operation wire (90) inserted into the flexible section (20) to the bending section (40) in the flexible section (20).</p> |
