Endoscope apparatus

摘要

An endoscope apparatus includes an insertion section adapted to be inserted into a desired region. A distal end structure is fixed to the distal end of the insertion section. The structure has a support portion on which a solid-state image sensor is mounted to be movable in a direction parallel to a light receiving surface of the sensor. The sensor is pressed against the support portion by a leaf spring, thereby being prevented from moving in a direction perpendicular to the light receiving surface. A connector is fixed to the proximal end of the insertion section and detachably connected to a control unit.
