Abstract: An endoscope includes: a distal end rigid member including a distal end-side end portion and a proximal end-side end portion in the longitudinal axis direction of an insertion portion and a hole provided in the longitudinal axis direction; an objective optical unit inserted into and attached to an inside of the hole in the longitudinal axis direction; a camera unit; and a projecting portion projecting from at least a part of a periphery of the hole, from the proximal end-side end portion to a proximal end side in the longitudinal axis direction, by a length that is equal to or greater than a length up to a gravity center position of the camera unit in the longitudinal axis direction exceeding a connecting portion connecting the objective optical unit and the camera unit, so as to cover a part of an outer peripheral portion of the camera unit.

Abstract: An endoscope includes a first frame, a second frame, a first clearance, an enlarged diameter section, a distal end constituent member, and a second clearance, and a set height of the enlarged diameter section is set to be greater than a magnitude of the first clearance to which the second clearance is added.

Abstract: An endoscope system includes an insertion portion, an observation window provided in the insertion portion and configured to acquire a forward visual field image, an observation window provided in the insertion portion and configured to acquire a lateral visual field image, and an image processing portion. The image processing portion detects a set detection target in the lateral visual field image, generates an image signal of the forward visual field image and an image signal of the lateral visual field image, and in the case that the detection target is detected, outputs the image signal of the forward visual field image and the image signal of the lateral visual field image.

Abstract: An endoscope system includes: an insertion portion; a front view observation window configured to acquire a first object image; a first image pickup device configured to generate a first image pickup signal; a side view observation window configured to acquire a second object image; a second image pickup device configured to generate a second image pickup signal; an inclination angle detection portion configured to detect a rotation around an axis and generate inclination information; and a video processor configured to generate an image signal representing a state that an image represented by the second image pickup signal is made to revolve following the rotation and arranged with respect to an image represented by the first image pickup signal, based on the inclination information, the first image pickup signal and the second image pickup signal, and output the image signal to a display portion configured to display the image.
