1. An endoscope apparatus comprising:

  • an inserted portion to be inserted inside a body cavity;

    a first dichroic mirror, disposed in a distal end portion of the inserted portion, that deflects light in a first wavelength band, which is incident from a radial direction, in a longitudinal axial direction and that transmits light in a second wavelength band, which is incident from the longitudinal axial direction, thereby multiplexing it with the light in the first wavelength band;

    a second dichroic mirror that splits the light multiplexed by the first dichroic mirror into each wavelength band; and

    two image-acquisition units that respectively acquire the light in the first and second wavelength bands split by the second dichroic mirror.
