ABSTRACT:
An endoscope is provided with a water proof cover on its eyepiece portion or its connector portion to be connected with a light source system. The water proof cover is provided with a smooth engaging face on the internal periphery near its open end to be liquid tightly engaged with a packing ring mounted on the endoscope. There is provided a protective cover above the packing ring to prevent the ring from being damaged while the cover is removed from the endoscope. In a preferred embodiment, the water proof cover is provided with a protective sleeve which is slid into the protecting position to cover and protect the smooth engaging face while the water proof cover is removed from the endoscope. In a further preferred embodiment, the water proof cover is made into such a form as to enable the diopter ring to be rotated with the cover mounted on the endoscope.
