Abstract
A cylindrical proximal unit is disposed at the proximal end of an elongated insertion unit that has a CCD incorporated in a distal part thereof and that has a bending section. A light source unit, a circuit for producing a CCD driving signal in response to a signal received from an external unit by radio, and a motor unit for electrically driving the bending section are incorporated in the proximal unit. Thus, a light guide cable need not be led out of the proximal unit. This leads to easy operation. Moreover, by manipulating an operation unit separated from an endoscope, a motor included in the motor unit is driven by radio via a scope interface unit.
