ABSTRACT:
The distal end body of an endoscope containing an objective optical system or other components is coupled with the distal end of a bendable portion by a coupling tube. The rear end of the coupling tube is fitted on the inside of the foremost end part of the bendable portion and is fixed to the foremost end part of the bendable portion at fixing locations. Portions of the coupling tube proximate the fixing locations have a greater thickness while remaining locations have a lesser thickness, so as to provide adequate mechanical strength while maximizing the interior cross sectional area of the coupling tube.
