    Abstract: An endoscope system includes: an illumination portion including an emitter and being configured to radiate illumination light beam onto an imaging subject, the beam having intensity distribution in which light and dark portions are spatially repeated; a controller configured to cause widths of the dark portions to change; an imager configured to acquire a plurality of illumination images of the subject being illuminated with beams in which the widths of the dark portions are different from each other; and at least one processor including hardware, the processor being configured to: create first and second images from each of the illumination images, the first images containing a greater quantity of information about a deep layer of the subject than the second images do; and calculate information about depths of a feature portion in the subject on the basis of changes among the first images and changes among the second images.

    Abstract: An endoscope system according to the present invention includes: an illumination unit that radiates illumination light onto a subject, the illumination light having a spatially non-uniform intensity distribution including a light section and a dark section in a beam cross section orthogonal to an optical axis; an imaging unit that images an illumination image of the subject irradiated with the illumination light; and a separation processor that generates two separate images from the illumination image. Among intensity values of pixels within the illumination image respectively corresponding to the light section, the dark section, and a section having intermediate intensity between the light section and the dark section, the separation processor generates the two separate images based on at least two of the intensity values.

    Abstract: An illumination device comprises: an optical member that is provided with a circular ring-shaped or horseshoe-shaped light-guiding layer and diffusion layer, which are laminated in a central axis direction, the light-guiding layer having a light-entrance surface facing a tangential direction; and a light-introducing member that is disposed at the radially outer side of the optical member and that introduces illumination light into the light-guiding layer from the light-entrance surface, in the tangential direction; wherein the diffusion layer diffuses the illumination light entering from the light-guiding layer by volume scattering, and the optical member is formed, at least, of one end surface in the axial direction and emits the illumination light emitted from the diffusion layer.

    Abstract: For the purpose of performing illumination with which vignetting of illumination light caused by a structure is alleviated, thus making the difference between a bright part and a dark part on an object less noticeable, an illumination device according to the present invention is provided with: a light-emitting part that has an emission end from which illumination light is emitted; a diffusion optical member that is disposed around a predetermined axis in the circumferential direction, that is provided with an incident end disposed so as to be opposed to the emission end, that guides the illumination light entering from the incident end while diffusing the illumination light, and that emits the illumination light from a surface thereof; and a reflective layer that is disposed adjacent to a radially inward surface of the diffusion optical member and that reflects the illumination light radially outward, wherein an angle, around the axis, of an emission region for the illumination light in the diffusion optical member is reduced as the distance from the incident end is increased in the axial direction.
