PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope not liable to be damaged or broken even by repeated use and having a small curved surface resistance. SOLUTION: The endoscope comprises an insertion part 2 having flexibility (pliability), and a control unit installed at the proximal end of the insertion part 2. The part 2 is constituted by arranging an elongated member such as a tube, a wire or the like in a tuke constituted of a pellicle 382 or the like. A lubricant 5 is arranged in the tuke, and a coating layer 4 constituted of a polyparaxylylene resin is formed on an inner surface of the tuke and the front surface of the long-sized member. As the polyparaxylylene resin, the resin containing at least one type selected from the group consisting of a polyparaxylylene and a monochloroparaxylylene is preferred. A thickness of the coating layer is preferred to be 0.1 to 75×m.
