ENDOSCOPE

An endoscope of the disclosure includes an insertion section including a distal end portion, a bending portion, and a flexible tube portion. The distal end portion includes: a first opening connected to an instrument channel, a second opening connected to a wire channel, a wire, a first detent surface, and a raising base rotatable about an axis between a lowered position and a raised position. The raising base includes an attachment housing and a distal end of the wire is attached to the raising base at the attachment housing. The wire is movable within the wire channel to rotate the raising base about the axis from the lowered position to the raised position, and in the raised position, a stop surface of the attachment housing contacts the first detent surface to limit an amount of rotation of the raising base.
