ABSTRACT:
An endoscope comprises an operating body and an inserting portion extending therefrom. A distal end section of the inserting portion is formed into a bendable section. An angularly movable member is mounted within the operating body for angular movement around a predetermined axis. The bendable section is operatively connected to the angularly movable member through a pair of operating wires or wire sections. A hydraulic actuator is operatively connected to the angularly movable member. An operating member located exteriorly of the operating body is operatively connected to the angularly movable member. As the operating member is operated to angularly move the angularly movable member around the predetermined axis to bend the bendable section, moment of rotation is applied to the angularly movable member by the hydraulic actuator, to angularly move the angularly movable member around the predetermined axis in the same direction as that in which the angularly movable member is angularly moved around the predetermined axis by the operating member.
