PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope apparatus equipped with a case that is stably operable even if it has a long insertion part.SOLUTION: An endoscope apparatus 1 includes: a long insertion part 10 which has an imaging mechanism at an end part and is bendable a display part 40 which displays an image acquired by the imaging mechanism an operation part 20 which performs bending operation of the insertion part 10 and a case 61 in which the display part and the operation part on a front surface side are housed and the insertion part 10 is connected to a back side opposite the front surface side. The case 61 has: a base part 65 having a ground surface 65A and a back surface part 67 to which the insertion part 10 is connected. In a lateral surface view, with a first flat surface going a middle point in a height direction from the base part 65 and being parallel to the base part 65 as a boundary, when an area on the base part 65 side in the case 61 is called a lower area and an area on the side opposite the base part 65 an upper area, in the back surface part 67, the insertion part 10 is extended downward in the height direction from a part belonging to the lower area or a central part in the height direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】長尺な挿入部を有していても、安定して操作ができる筐体を備える内視鏡装置を提供する。【解決手段】内視鏡装置1は、先端部に撮像機構を有し、湾曲可能な長尺の挿入部10と、撮像機構で取得された画像を表示する表示部40と、挿入部10の湾曲操作を行う操作部20と、正面側に表示部および操作部が収容され、正面側と反対の背面側に挿入部10が接続された筐体61とを備え、筐体61は、接地面65Aを有するベース部65と、挿入部10が接続された背面部67と、を具備し、側面視において、ベース部65からの高さ方向の中点を通り、ベース部65に平行な第1の平面を境として、筐体61におけるベース部65側の領域を下部領域、ベース部65と反対側の領域を上部領域と称するとき、挿入部10は、背面部67のうち、下部領域に属する部位または高さ方向の中央部から、高さ方向において下方に向かって延ばされている。【選択図】図2
