摘要:
A light flash control apparatus is used for an endoscope in which a solid-state image sensor is employed. A image signal derived from the solid-state image sensor during the illumination by a halogen lamp is also utilized as a photo-metric signal. An adequate quantity of flashlight for the image sensor is calculated in advance based upon the photo-metric signal. The calculated exposure time i.e., the desirable quantity of flashlight is stored in an integration circuit. After the given exposure time passes since the flash tube is ignited, it is forcibly turned-off by a turn-off thyristor.

An endoscopic photographing apparatus has a TV camera with a CCD image sensor which is mounted on an eyepiece section of an endoscope, a light flash source for supplying a light flash as photographing light to the endoscope, and an observation light source for supplying observation light. The light flash source is turned on in synchronism with a release signal and a transfer gate pulse for the video signal, at the time of still image photographing. The photographic field of view of the TV camera is darkened for at least one-field scanning period, before the light flash source is turned on.

This endoscope system is provided with an endoscope and an image receiving apparatus to be fitted to the eyepiece part of this endoscope. The endoscope has an elongate insertable part, an objective optical system provided in the tip part of the insertable part, an eyepiece part provided on the rear end side of the insertable part and an image guide consisting of a fiber bundle transmitting the image formed by the objective optical system to the eyepiece part. The image receiving apparatus has an image receiving part of many pixels on which the image from the eyepiece part is formed. Further, the endoscope system is provided with a vibrating apparatus relatively vibrating the image formed on the image receiving part and the image receiving part. The image receiving apparatus is a television camera, co-viewing apparatus or electronic still camera.

Arranged within a measuring-light generating unit of an endoscope apparatus for three dimensional measurement, according to the invention, are measuring means, a lamp for outgoing a normal illuminating light, and a laser for outgoing a measuring light. Connected to the measuring means is a signal line which is connected to a CCD. Further, an illuminating light outgone from the lamp is condensed by a condenser lens, and is incident upon an incident end surface of a light guide. Furthermore, the measuring light outgone from the laser is condensed by the condensing lens, and is incident upon the incident end surface of the image guide. Moreover, the incident end of the image guide is connected to scanning means formed by a piezo-electric element, a speaker (voice coil) or the like through a connecting element. The scanning means is operated whereby the incident end of the image guide is reciprocally moved in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the measuring light. The measuring light is a light having extension or spreading. However, a flux of light of the measuring light is extremely thin, and a spot light having minimum resolution that is a single glass fiber forming the image guide is projected onto the subject.

The camera arranged at the eyepiece section of an endoscope has a photometric circuit for generating observation and photographing light control signals selectively to control the brightness of observation light and the amount of photographing light. The light supply unit has observation and photographing light control circuits, said observation light control circuit serving to control the amount of current supplied to the observation light source correspondingly to the observation light signal applied through the photometric circuit in the camera and said photographing light circuit serving to control the light irradiation time of the photographing light source or electronic flash tube correspondingly to the photographing light control signal.

There is provided a frozen picture memorizing memory holding as a frozen picture image a picture image signal imaged by an electronic endoscope. By the operation of a frozen picture directing switch, whether the frozen picture is adapted to the memorizing condition or not is judged through a picture image movement detecting circuit. In case it is judged to be adapted to the memorizing condition, the picture image signal is memorized actually as a frozen picture image to obtain a clear frozen picture having little color smear and fogging.

A control system with a microprocessor controls an output pressure of a water/air pump and a light amount of a light source lamp in an endoscope. Under control of a program, the microprocessor periodically accesses a decoder to periodically generate a pulse signal. The generated pulse signal is applied to a watch dog type detector for detecting an abnormal operation of the microprocessor. When the microprocessor operates abnormally and is detected, the microprocessor is reset, and an output pressure of a water/air pump and a light amount of a light source lamp are respectively set at the maximum levels independently of the control by the microprocessor.
