PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compact optical system advantageous for generating a sheet beam and an endoscope device including the optical system.SOLUTION: An optical system has a light guide member (101) for guiding light incident from an incident end to an emission end, and optical means (106) for focusing light emitted from the emission end from the light guide member in a first cross section. In the emission end of the light guide member, an opening (103) having a size of a first direction perpendicular to the first cross section larger than a size of a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT
