PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope having a good liquid drainage property during washing while having flexibility in layout.SOLUTION: A plateau part 60 for an observation window is formed on a tip surface 26a, and an observation window 50 is disposed on the plateau part 60 for an observation window. The plateau part 60 for an observation window is formed so that an outer peripheral shape of an area opposite to a nozzle extends to the outer peripheral edge of a tip part. Further, the plateau part 60 for an observation window has a rounded chamfer part formed at an end part opposite to the nozzle, and the diameter of the rounded chamfer part is formed to be smaller than the diameter of a rounded chamfer of the outer peripheral edge of the tip part.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】レイアウトの自由度を確保しつつ、洗浄時の液切れ性が良好な内視鏡を提供する。【解決手段】先端面26aに観察窓用台地部60が形成され、この観察窓用台地部60に観察窓50が配置される。この観察窓用台地部60は、ノズルと反対側の領域の外周形状が先端部の外周縁まで延びて形成される。さらに観察窓用台地部60は、ノズルと反対側の端部に形成されたアール面取り部を有し、このアール面取り部の径が、先端部の外周縁のアール面取りの径よりも小さく形成されている。【選択図】図4
