  • Publication number: 20220099758
    Abstract: An endoscope can include an internal member provided at a distal end of an insertion portion a conductive external member fitted over the internal member and electrically connected to a ground. The endoscope can also include an image pickup instrument fixed to the internal member, and the image pickup instrument can include a lens. The endoscope can include an electrical connection part having a first end portion connected to the conductive member and a second end portion connected to the external member, the electrical connection part being configured to electrically connect the conductive member and the external member, a conductor wire including a third end portion electrically connected to the first end portion, and a fourth end portion that passes through an opening formed in the external member.
