Abstract: An endoscope light source device includes a light source to emit light, and a speckle reduction member to scatter the light. The reduction member has a surface including thickness variation to provide the light with an optical path difference. The device also includes a drive to move the reduction member, and a lens to condense the light passed through the reduction member onto a light guide of an endoscope. The surface of the reduction member has inclination of an average inclination angle. The average inclination angle is determined so that a light quantity loss rate of the entering light into the light guide by scattering of the reduction member and refraction of the lens has a positive value equal to or smaller than an effective allowable loss rate.

Abstract: An endoscope observation method includes irradiating first and second narrowband light to an observation object. The first and second narrowband light have wavelengths at which absorbances of first and second characteristic substances related to a predetermined state of the observation object and contained in the observation object are mutually different. The method also includes performing imaging by use of reflected light of the first and second narrowband light from the observation object to obtain first and second image data, and forming a characteristic substance presence image regarding the presence of the first and second characteristic substance, on the basis of characteristic amounts of the first and second characteristic substances contained in the first and second image data.

Abstract: An endoscope apparatus includes an imager that outputs an imaging signal and an image processor that generates an emphasis image signal and a non-emphasis image signal based on the imaging signal. The emphasis image signal corresponds to emphasis narrow band light included in an emphasis wavelength range that includes at least one of a maximum wavelength that takes a maximum value of an optical absorption spectrum and a color-range largest wavelength that takes a largest value of the optical absorption spectrum. The non-emphasis image signal corresponds to non-emphasis narrow band light included in a non-emphasis wavelength range that excludes the emphasis wavelength range from three color ranges and that is included in a color range that does not include the emphasis narrow band light.
