Endoscope

Abstract

An endoscope includes an insertion section configured to be extended in a front-and-back direction, configured to be inserted into a body cavity, and including an observation optical system for imaging the inside of the body cavity, an endoscope main body configured to be provided on a rear end side of the insertion section and including a gripping section gripped by an operator, a first antenna configured to be arranged at a position closer to the insertion section than the gripping section, and a second antenna configured to be arranged at a position farther from the insertion section than the gripping section. An image obtained by imaging the inside of the body cavity by the observation optical system is converted into a wireless signal, and transmission/reception of the wireless signal to/from the outside of the endoscope is enabled through at least one of the first and second antennas.
