Abstract
An endoscope according to the invention includes a distal end member of an endoscope main body, a guide groove provided in the distal end member from a proximal end side toward a distal end side, first and second concave sections provided at a proximal end and a distal end in the guide groove, a cover attached to the distal end member, and a convex section provided in the cover, the convex section sliding in the guide groove to selectively engage with the first concave section and the second concave section. The convex section engages with the first concave section to fix the cover to the distal end member. The convex section is slid along the guide groove and engages with the second concave section to fix the cover to the distal end member in a state in which the cover deviates to the distal end side.
