A light source for an endoscope is disclosed for illuminating a subject, the image from the subject being received through a leading end of the endoscope, and being projected by an objective lens onto a solid state imaging device. Light from a light source lamp is projected onto the subject sequentially with the light transmitted through three color transmitting filters. A reflector is provided to reflect light from the light source lamp in a parallel light beam. A convex lens system for converging the parallel light from the reflector. Light from said source lamp is transmitted through a light guide to the subject. A first and second lens systems are positioned between the input end of the light guide and the convex lens system for converging the light onto the input end of the light guide. The light guide is disposed within an insert member of said endoscope. The lens systems reduce the sectional area of the light beam and restrict the included angle of the light beam. A rotary color filter is provided in said light beam and includes interference filters having high heat resistance for passing light of only a specific wavelength, to provide different colors of illuminating light to the subject.

Method for detecting a focus condition of an imaging optical system by using a surface acoustic wave device is disclosed. A light receiving element array formed by a plurality of light receiving elements receives a light flux transmitted through at least a part of an image formed by the imaging optical system. Then, outputs of said light receiving elements are processed on real time by means of a Fourier transform device including a surface acoustic wave device, a convolver, etc. so as to derive an image sharpness and/or an image lateral shift, both of which are used for a focus detection. Therefore, as compared with a conventional focus detection method, it is possible to perform the focus detection in a fast and accurate manner by a simple and small construction.

A wiring board manufacturing system, which is an electric wiring forming system, utilizes a magnesium alloy as a conductive metal for wiring pattern forming, and mixes and heats the magnesium alloy chips thereof in a cylinder (feeding unit) with a built-in screw, melting same into an alloy slurry of a thixotropic state. The alloy slurry thereof is discharged onto a board. The board is mounted on a work stage of a stage unit, which is driven and controlled in accordance with wiring pattern data inputted by a CAD or the like, and a wiring pattern is formed on the board with the discharged alloy. According to this system, it is possible to provide an electric wiring forming system, which does away with the effects on the environment resulting from waste liquid at manufacturing, enables manufacturing time to be shortened, and moreover, uses an inexpensive metallic material for forming a wiring pattern.

In an electronic still camera system for forming one still frame image by synthesizing odd and even field images which are field-sequentially output from a CCD, an image compensation circuit is arranged to prevent a deterioration in quality of a still frame image due to an image shift between the two field images. The image compensation circuit includes an interpolation circuit for obtaining two pseudo frame images by performing field interpolation of the odd and even field images, a correlation arithmetic circuit for detecting an amount of image shift between the two field images on the basis of the correlation between the two pseudo frame images, and a shift compensation circuit for compensating the image shift by shifting one of the two field images in accordance with the detected amount of image shift. The correlation arithmetic circuit divides each field image into a plurality of blocks, and detects an amount of image shift in units of blocks. The shift compensation circuit shifts an image in units of blocks.

An endoscope incorporating a solid state image pickup element for picking-up optical images of an object under observation, and an accessory means having a high frequency oscillator, is able to perform imaging and an accessory function without mutual interference due to high frequency noise from the accessory means oscillator affecting the imaging signals. The output of high frequency oscillation in the accessory means is inhibited during a signal reading period of the image pickup element by a control pulse sychronized with the application of clock signals to the image pickup element.

A color emphasis circuit in a color endoscope includes a color signal modulator for modulating color signals corresponding to a color image, a color signal averager for obtaining an averaged value by averaging the color signals for every color image, an averaged color signal modulator for modulating the averaged color signals, and a hue difference detector for detecting a hue difference between the modulated color signal output from said color signal modulator and the modulated averaged color signal output from said averaged color signal modulator. Further, a hue difference changer is provided for widening the detected hue difference at least near the averaged value so as to change the hue difference. A phase shifter is also provided for shifting phases of the modulated color signals by the changed hue difference; additionally, a demodulator is provided for demodulating the phase shifted modulated color signals to output color emphasized color signals for display.
