Abstract:
An object insertion system includes an insertion portion, a first information generator, a storage unit, a second information calculator and an output unit. The first information generator includes at least one sensor and is configured to generate first information indicating at least one of an insertion state and an operation state of the insertion portion in a body cavity. The second information calculator is configured to calculate second information based on the first information generated by the first information generator and at least one of third information and fourth information stored by the storage unit, the second information being operation support information to insert the insertion portion to perform a predetermined work. The output unit is configured to output the second information.
Abstract:
An insertion assist information detection system includes an endoscope apparatus and a movement amount detection sensor. The endoscope apparatus includes an insertion portion to be inserted into a tube, a grasp portion which is grasped by an operator, and a movable portion which mechanically connects the insertion portion and the grasp portion to relatively move the insertion portion and the grasp portion. The movement amount detection sensor detects a relative movement amount of the insertion portion and the grasp portion in the movable portion.
Abstract:
A light source system includes an intermediary adapter which mechanically connects a first light source module, a first irradiation module, a second light source module and a second irradiation module, a first connection mechanism which connects the first light source module and the intermediary adapter and a second connection mechanism which connects the second light source module and the intermediary adapter. The first irradiation module and the second irradiation module are interchangeably connected to the intermediary adapter in the same plane of the intermediary adapter.
Abstract:
A light source device includes a first excitation light source which emits first excitation light having a wavelength in a first wavelength region, a first optical member, a second optical member and a holding member which holds the first optical member and the second optical member. The first optical member converts at least part of the first excitation light to emit first wavelength converted light, and increase divergence angle of the transmitted first excitation light by a first incremental angle. A second optical member is disposed in a region including an optical axis of the first excitation light, and increases the divergence angle of the transmitted first excitation light by a second incremental angle larger than the first incremental angle.
Abstract:
A light source apparatus includes a primary light source that emits primary light, a diffusing member that diffuses and converts the primary light into diffused light, a reflection portion that regularly reflects or diffuse-reflects and converts the diffused light into reflected light, and an emission portion that emits the reflected light to an outside. A portion of the primary light is converted in an order of the diffused light and the reflected light and emitted to the outside from the emission portion in a state of the reflected light.
Abstract:
The wavelength conversion member includes a plurality of fluorescent members that absorb the excitation light and emit fluorescent light having a peak wavelength different from the peak wavelength of the excitation light. The wavelength conversion member has a surface irradiated with excitation light that faces an excitation light emitting surface of the excitation light source. The optical axis passes the center of the surface irradiated with excitation light. The plurality of fluorescent members are arranged in a divisional manner at such proportions that a circumferential area ratio, which is defined as the ratio of area occupied by each of the fluorescent members in a concentric annular region having a center located at the center of the surface irradiated with excitation light on the surface irradiated with excitation light of the wavelength conversion member, is substantially constant irrespective of the radius of the concentric annular region.
