A light source device includes a first light source, a second light source, and a processor. The processor controls, based on spectrum setting information, an emitted light amount of the first light source and an emitted light amount of the second light source so that the emitted light amount of the first light source becomes larger than the emitted light amount of the second light source. The observation object includes a region of interest, a merkmal, and a peripheral portion. The spectrum setting information is set based on a merkmal observed ratio that is a ratio between a spectral reflectance in the merkmal and a spectral reflectance in the peripheral portion. A degree of disassociation of the merkmal observed ratio in the first wavelength region from 1 is greater than a degree of disassociation of the merkmal observed ratio in the second wavelength region from 1.
