PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a confocal endoscope capable of obtaining a tomographic image of a body cavity tissue sliced at a prescribed plane even if confocal observation of a region which greatly vibrates because of the pulsation of an upper digestive tract is performed. SOLUTION: The confocal endoscope has a confocal observation member for obtaining a confocal operation observation image of a subject in a projecting part disposed at the distal end of an insertion tube, and a first suction port is disposed in the projecting part for sucking the body cavity tissue in the periphery of the projecting part. The first sucking motion for sucking the body cavity tissue through the first suction port is performed by a first suction means. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
