Endoscope

An endoscope comprising:

• an imaging device that is provided in a tip portion of an insertion part capable of being inserted into a body cavity,
• wherein the imaging device includes a solid-state imaging element that photoelectrically converts imaging light incident on an image receiving surface thereof through an imaging lens, and a circuit substrate including a connecting surface facing a terminal face that is a surface opposite to the image receiving surface of the solid-state imaging element,
• a plurality of terminals are uniformly arranged longitudinally and laterally in a two-dimensional matrix form on the terminal face of the solid-state imaging element,
• the connecting surface of the circuit substrate and the terminal face of the solid-state imaging element are connected to each other through the plurality of terminals, and
• the total area of the plurality of terminals, which are arranged on the terminal face, occupies 10% or more of the area of an imaging area of the image receiving surface of the solid-state imaging element.
