The endoscope apparatus is provided with an endoscope, a light source apparatus and an imaging controlling apparatus. The endoscope comprises an elongate insertable part having an observing window and illuminating window in the tip part, an image forming optical system opposed to the observing window within the tip part of the insertable part, an illuminating light transmitting system inserted through the insertable part and emitting an illuminating light out of the illuminating window, an imaging apparatus imaging an object image formed by the image forming optical system and a first signal transmitting system connected to the imaging apparatus. The entrance end side of the illuminating light transmitting system and the base end side of the first signal transmitting system are integrated and are provided at the end with a connecting part. A second signal transmitting system connected to the first signal transmitting system is extended from the imaging controlling apparatus. A first connecting apparatus removably connects the entrance end of the illuminating light transmitting system in the connecting part to the light source apparatus and a second connecting apparatus removably connects the base end of the first signal transmitting system and the end of the second signal transmitting system in the connecting part with each other. The first signal transmitting system relating at least to imaging signals are preferably made substantially equal in the characteristic impedance.
