摘要： An endoscope 2 has a CCD 9 incorporated in the distal part of an insertion unit 6 thereof. The sensitivity of the CCD 9 can be varied by applying a plurality of pulsating driving signals so as to change an electron multiplication rate. The endoscope 2 is connected to a processor 3 so that it can be disconnected freely. Information representing a type of endoscope stored in advance in a ROM 48 is transmitted to a controller 21 incorporated in the processor 3. The control means 21 uses a CCD sensitivity control means 12 to control the sensitivity of the CCD 9 according to the type of connected endoscope 2. In addition, an automatic gain control circuit supplementarily amplifies a signal output from the CCD 9 so that the level of the signal becomes a predetermined level. Consequently, a view image of proper brightness can be produced irrespective of the type of endoscope 2.

摘要： A general-light observation light image can be obtained by illuminating the polarized frame sequence light or polarized white light, for example. In addition, a parallel polarized component and a vertical polarized component with respect to a polarizing direction of illuminating light, which is polarized in a specific direction are captured. Then, image data, which is a difference between both of the polarized component is calculated and is displayed in a display device. Thus, a scattered light component in a living-body tissue surface side can be extracted with good S/N, which can improve the diagnosis functionality.

摘要： Excitation light for normal light observation with wavelengths in the visible spectrum, which is output from a lamp, and excitation light with wavelengths in the infrared spectrum for exciting a fluorescent substance characteristic of being accumulated readily in a lesion are irradiated simultaneously to a living tissue, to which the fluorescent substance has been administered, through an endoscope. Fluorescence components are separated from light stemming from the living tissue by means of a separator such as a dichroic mirror, introduced to a first imaging device, and then imaged. Light components with wavelengths in the visible spectrum are introduced to a second imaging device and then imaged. Signals representing the images are subjected to signal processing, whereby a video signal is produced. For better diagnosis, two images are displayed while, for example, one of the images is superimposed on the other.

摘要： A visible light spectrum and a fluorescent light spectrum are received by a variable gain solid state imaging device provided to an endoscope. The variable gain solid state imaging device can be said to lower amplification levels for easily observed visible light spectrum, and higher amplification levels for low intensity fluorescent light spectrum observation. By varying the gain of the imaging device with the different spectrums, an object observed with the endoscope is displayed with approximately similar brightness in each white spectrum. A controller coupled to endoscope system switches different light spectrum to irradiate the observed object, while controlling amplification of the image device. The endoscope provides enhanced image detail to improve diagnosis and treatment of observed abnormal objects.
