Endoscope

An endoscope comprising:

• a bending portion provided in an insertion portion configured to be inserted into a subject;
• a first wire connected with a first connection part of the bending portion, the first wire configured to bend the entire bending portion in a first bending direction;
• a second wire connected with a second connection part of the bending portion, the second connection part positioned proximally relative to of the first connection part, the second wire configured to bend only a proximal end side part of the bending portion proximal to the second connection part in the first bending direction;
• a first member having a first surface rotatable about a first axis, the first member being operably connected to the first wire to pull the first wire proximally when the first surface is rotated about the first axis;
• a second member having a second surface rotatable about a second axis, the second member being operably connected to the second wire to pull the second wire proximally when the second surface is rotated about the second axis;
• and
• a first guide tube, separate from the insertion portion, and disposed within the insertion portion, the first wire and the second wire are each inserted into the first guide tube, the first guide tube located at a position proximal to the bending portion.
