Problem to be solved: to provide an endoscope suppressing the occurrence of flare.An endoscope is located at the distal end of the insertion portion, an imaging portion for imaging the subject at a distal end of the insertion portion, an imaging portion for imaging the subject in the tip of the insertion part, an imaging part to be inserted into the subject, an illumination part for illuminating the light from the tip of the insertion part, an imaging part and the illumination part, at least in part Includes a tip whose light reflectivity is variable on the surface.Preferably, the tip has an ultrasonic probe whose reflectance of light is variable on the surface.Diagram【課題】フレアの発生を抑制した内視鏡を提供すること。【解決手段】内視鏡は、被検体内に挿入される挿入部と、前記挿入部の先端から照明光を照射する照明部と、前記挿入部の先端において被検体内を撮像する撮像部と、前記挿入部の先端に位置し、前記撮像部及び前記照明部を保持し、少なくとも一部において表面における光の反射率が可変である先端部と、を備える。好ましくは、前記先端部は、表面における光の反射率が可変である超音波探触子を有する。【選択図】図３
