Endoscope device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To enable miniaturization by providing an endoscope, of which the final imaging position exists on the outside of the endoscope body, and an observing means which is freely attachable to and detachable from the endoscope and can observe the image of the final imaging position. CONSTITUTION:A scope 10A is provided with a connector 23 which allows connection of an adapter, television camera, etc., for visual observation at the rear end of an operating part 13 in the optical axis extension direction of an image transmission optical system. The final imaging position of a field mask 19 by the image transmission optical system at the time of ordinary observation is so set as to exist on the outside of the operating part 13, i.e., behind the connector 23 on the optical axis extension of the image transmission optical system. The observing means can, therefore, be connected to the endoscope having the final imaging position 24 on the outside without the aid of an eyepiece part and adapter; in addition, the imaging to the observing means is possible without the aid of a lens, etc. The freely attachable and detachable observing means and the endoscope device which is held connected with the observing means are thereby miniaturized.
