摘要:
An imaging apparatus for endoscopes has an objective optical system forming an image of an object and a holding frame retaining the objective optical system. The objective optical system is provided with optical filters which reduce a transmittance in a particular wavelength region of illumination light irradiating the object to 0.1% or less and has a light passage preventing device blocking light passing through a clearance between the outside surfaces of the optical filters and the inside surface of the holding frame retaining the optical filters.

A fluorescence endoscope apparatus has a light source apparatus having at least a light source, an optical filter unit for exciting light, and a plurality of optical filter units for normal illumination light, an electronic endoscope which picks up an image of fluorescence and a plurality of reflecting light obtained from the object, and an image processing apparatus which processes an image signal of a fluorescence image and a plurality of reflecting light images picked up by the electronic endoscope, and delivers them to a monitor. The image processing has a first color control means which carries out a color control of only the image signals of a plurality of the reflecting light images based on an image signal obtained by using a standard object as an object, and a second color control means which carries out a color control of an image signal of said plurality of reflecting light images adjusted by the first color control means and an image signal of the fluorescence image obtained by using a living tissue as an object on the basis of the image signal obtained by said image processing apparatus using the living tissue as an object.

A confocal optical system includes a pinhole aperture for creating a point light source from light that is transmitted through an optical fiber, an optical scanning system for scanning the light that emerges from the pinhole aperture, and an optical focusing system. The optical focusing system focuses light from the pinhole aperture via the optical scanning system onto or within an object such that the pinhole aperture and the focused light region at the object are at conjugate positions of the confocal optical system. Thus, light reflected by the object is returned to the optical fiber via the pinhole aperture. At least one of the optical scanning system and the optical focusing system includes a reflective surface region and a region that has a different reflectivity than the reflective surface region. The region that has a different reflectivity may be an aperture, a region of lower reflectance factor, or even a region that reflects light well, but in a direction which prevents light which does not illuminate the object via the optical scanning system from being returned to the optical fiber core region. Thus, the purpose of the region having a different reflectivity is to reduce optical noise that is returned to the optical fiber.

A capsule for determining the blood content of living tissue in vivo in a patient to detect tumors. The capsule includes a light source and a light detector for directing light onto the tissue and for receiving interacted light therefrom. By analyzing the interacted light, a determination can be made of the blood content of that tissue. There are various ways of positioning the capsule so that it contacts the tissue in the desired orientation of the light source and light detector. There is also a system for determining the actual contact between the capsule and the tissue. A calibration system is also used that allows a self calibration that can be carried out easily and accurately just prior to the use of the capsule.

Apparatus and methods for detecting foreign material obstructing a blood content sensor window to facilitate higher data accuracy from such sensors, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention for detecting foreign matter with the blood content sensor when the blood content sensor is not contacted with living tissue, an illuminator for blood content detection and the blood content sensor share a common outer window. When the window is at a distance from tissue and in absence of foreign matter on the window, all or most of the emitted light will be dispersed and little or no light will be reflected back into the sensor. Conversely, when the window is at a distance from tissue and foreign matter is present on the window, a substantial portion of the emitted light will be reflected back into the sensor indicating the presence of the foreign matter.

A sheet is fed to a registration roller pair by a separation-feeding unit formed by a sheet feeding roller and a separation portion, and is caused to abut a nip portion of the registration roller pair at rest to form a loop in the sheet. Then, when the registration roller pair rotates at a predetermined timing to convey the sheet, a pressurization plate is raised again to bring the sheet into press contact with the sheet feeding roller to thereby impart a conveyance force to the sheet, making it possible to feed the sheet reliably to the registration roller pair.
