PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a three dimensional image to be stably acquired.SOLUTION: An endoscope comprises: an imaging part to be inserted into a body cavity a connection part connecting the imaging part and an apparatus installed outside the cavity and a joint part provided in the middle of the connection part concerning which the structure at the tip side ahead of the joint part itself including the imaging part can rotate with respect to the structure at the root side inferior to the joint part itself. The imaging part structured in such a manner as to allow the angle of a cross point which is an angle formed between imaging surfaces to be adjustable has a first imaging element and a second imaging element each of which is arranged at each of the sides sandwiching the coupling part where the connection part and the imaging part are coupled. Either an arrangement position or an imaging direction of the imaging part can be controlled by rotation through the joint part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
