Abstract
This endoscope is provided with: a hard part that is provided at the distal end of a scope, is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and has a substantially circular distal end surface; and a plurality of cameras that are disposed on the left and right sides of the hard part to be located on both sides of a first virtual line perpendicular to the axis of the hard part on the distal end surface. The plurality of cameras include a first camera. The first camera is disposed so that the imaging axis is offset in the direction along the first virtual line from a second virtual line perpendicular to the axis and the first virtual line.
Claims8
An endoscope comprising:
- a rigid portion provided at a distal end of a scope, which is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape and whose distal end surface has a substantially cylindrical shape;
- and
- a plurality of cameras disposed on left and right sides of the rigid portion sandwiching a first virtual line orthogonal to an axis line of the rigid portion on the distal end surface,
- wherein the plurality of cameras include a first camera, and the first camera is disposed such that an imaging axis is shifted from a second virtual line orthogonal to each of the axis line and the first virtual line in a direction along the first virtual line.
