Abstract: An endoscope can include an internal member provided at a distal end of an insertion portion a conductive external member fitted over the internal member and electrically connected to a ground. The endoscope can also include an image pickup instrument fixed to the internal member, and the image pickup instrument can include a lens. The endoscope can include an electrical connection part having a first end portion connected to the conductive member and a second end portion connected to the external member, the electrical connection part being configured to electrically connect the conductive member and the external member, a conductor wire including a third end portion electrically connected to the first end portion, and a fourth end portion that passes through an opening formed in the external member.

Abstract: An image pickup apparatus is an image pickup apparatus capable of acquiring an image of an object in gas and in liquid, the image pickup apparatus including: an image pickup optical system; an image pickup device; a controlling portion configured to make an in-gas judgment if a vignetting portion is detected in an image signal and make an in-liquid judgment if a vignetting portion is not detected in the image signal; and a display data generating portion configured to generate certain display data corresponding to in-gas image pickup if the in-gas judgment is made and generate other display data corresponding to in-liquid image pickup if the in-liquid judgment is made.

Abstract: An endoscope includes: an objective optical system including a lens, allowing light from an imaging subject to be incident on a distal end surface, and focusing the light onto an image-capturing surface of an image-capturing element; an elongated light guide provided adjacent to a side of the system and guiding illumination light to be emitted from a distal end; and an optically transparent distal end cover disposed at a position where the distal end of the guide is covered, wherein the distal end surface is located farther forward than the distal end of the guide, a notched portion is provided at a distal-end outer edge of a side surface of the system, the side surface being adjacent to the guide, so that the system is narrower toward a front side from the distal end of the guide, and the cover is provided so as to bulge toward the notched portion.
