ENDOSCOPE TO BE DISPOSED IN FLUID PIPE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope to be disposed in a fluid pipe and capable of preventing acceleration of fluid between a body of the endoscope and an inner peripheral surface of the fluid pipe.SOLUTION: The endoscope comprises an endoscope body 2 to be introduced into a fluid pipe 1 in a state not to interrupt flow and having a camera 5 to capture an image in the fluid pipe 1, a fluid receiving part 12 provided in a circumferential direction of the endoscope body 2, and a cable 9 connected to the endoscope body 2 and for transmitting image information captured by the endoscope body 2 to the outside of the fluid pipe 1. The endoscope is disposed in the fluid pipe 1 and receives a fluid pressure in the fluid pipe 1 by the fluid receiving part 12 to allow the endoscope body 2 to move in a direction of the flow. The fluid receiving part 12 has water permeability.
