摘要： In a light source unit, a switchable filter section in which an RGB filter and a fluorescence observation filter can be shifted into the light path is disposed in front of a lamp. When fluorescence image mode is selected, excitation light in a part of the wavelength band of the blue wavelength band is supplied to an electronic endoscope, and the excitation light which is reflected by the subject is shielded by an excitation light shielding filter situated in front of a CCD, whereby a fluorescence image can be obtained. On the other hand, if normal-light image mode is selected, then R, G, B light is supplied sequentially, and even under illumination of B light, the color component image in the wavelength bands which are not shielded by the excitation light shielding filter are captured, thereby yielding a normal-light image also, and hence making it possible to capture both a fluorescence image and a normal-light image by means of a single image pickup element.

摘要： An electronic endoscope apparatus has an arrangement that its discrimination circuit discriminates the type or the operational state of the light source in accordance with a discrimination signal transmitted from a discrimination signal generator, and in accordance with the result of the discrimination, the processing operation to be performed by its video signal processing circuit is changed over to correspond to the difference in the type or the operational state of the light source. The video signal processing circuit performs a proper signal processing operation to correspond to the difference in the type of the light source to prevent deterioration in the image quality.
