A single solid-state image sensing device is disposed for a first optical system and a second optical system provided in a rigid endoscope. The first image formed by the first light beam emerging from the observation target and passing through the first optical system and the second image formed by the second light beam emerging from the observation target and passing through the second optical system are formed on the imaging surface of the solid-state image sensing device. The solid-state image sensing device then converts the first image and the second image into electric signals. In the picture display unit, the first picture corresponding to the first image and the second picture corresponding to the second image are displayed on the display surface based on the electric signal obtained by the solid-state image sensing device.
