Abstract: An endoscope apparatus includes an endoscope insertion section and an optical adapter that is detachably attachable to the endoscope insertion section. In the optical adapter, an LED and a resistor for connection detection are connected in parallel to two electric contacts. In the endoscope insertion section, two signal lines are connected to electric contacts, which are connectable to the two electric contacts in the optical adapter. The endoscope apparatus includes an attachment-and-detachment determining power supply that is connected to one of the signal lines through a switching circuit, and an optical-adapter-attachment-and-detachment determining section. When connection of the optical adapter is detected, the switching circuit is switched to supply an electric current for turning on the LED from an LED turn-on power supply to the one of the signal lines.

Abstract: An endoscope apparatus includes an apparatus main body having a housing with a concave portion formed in one surface, and an endoscope unit including a detachable connector portion in the concave portion, wherein, when the connector portion is mounted to the concave portion, the connector portion constitutes a part of the one surface. More preferably, a packing is provided in the housing or the connector portion that, when the connector portion is mounted to the housing, retains the mutual mating surfaces of the housing and the connector portion in a closely contacting state.

Abstract: A CPU of a control unit has an authentication verification function which is an authentication verification unit which verifies a user name and password input from a remote control and a user name and password stored in SRAM, and a registration user setting function which is a login qualifier authorization unit for controlling editing of registration users as well as specifying a user for which login is authorized by a user setting function flag stored in the SRAM.

Abstract: An endoscope system includes an endoscope switching device 3 to which a plurality of endoscope devices are simultaneously connected, and an endoscope control device which controls the plurality of endoscope devices via the endoscope switching device 3. The endoscope switching device 3 includes an image combining circuit 73 which combines video signals outputted from the plurality of endoscope devices and creates a combined image signal for simultaneously displaying the plurality of endoscope images, and a switching device control unit 75 which controls the image combining circuit 73. The switching device control unit 75 controls the operation for distributing a control command from a remote controller or PC to the corresponding endoscope device based on a character code sent from a system control unit in the endoscope control device. Simultaneously, the switching device control unit 75 controls the image combining circuit 73 via a serial I/F.

Abstract: To provide an endoscope apparatus in which the number of signal lines inserted through an endoscope insertion section and the number of signal lines in an optical adapter are reduced to make it possible to reduce a diameter of the endoscope insertion section and reduce a size of the optical adapter. In an optical adapter 4 detachably attachable to a distal end portion of the endoscope insertion section, an LED 11 to which plural LED elements are connected in series and a resistor 12 for connection detection are connected in parallel to two electric contacts 14. To two signal lines 17a and 17b connected to electric contacts 15 connected to the two electric contacts 14, an attachment-and-detachment determining power supply 21 is connected through a switching circuit 18 and an optical-adapter-attachment-and-detachment determining section 24 is connected.

Abstract: A protective body packages an exterior of a capsule endoscope body of a capsule endoscope such that a field of vision of an objective lens system is not obstructed. As a result, even if the capsule endoscope collides against a wall surface inside an object being examined, a circular cylinder portion of the protective body is elastically deformed so that the protective body itself becomes a shock absorbing portion and protects each portion inside a case as well as actual LED covers and a lens cover. As a result, the capsule endoscope body can be recovered in an undamaged condition, and unnecessary costs can be reduced by reusing the capsule endoscope body.

Abstract: An endoscope comprises an inserting unit main body, and a head unit that is freely detachably attached to the distal end of the inserting unit main body and that includes an image pickup device which picks up an image of an object and a light emitting element which irradiates illumination light to the object. A holding member holds the head unit such that distal extension of the holding member angles the head unit in a radial direction orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the distal end of the inserting unit main body.

Abstract: An endoscope control system comprises a network server device which is provided with an interface for executing an external application software and stores a graphical user interface (GUI) which is a display information which is written in at least a server language and external application software, and a network interface (network I/F). By doing this, it is possible to control remotely the endoscope device without connecting the endoscope device and the control section.

Abstract: An endoscope apparatus captures a subject, samples data at predetermined pixel spacing as an original image, and specifies a feature point in an original image, thereby performing a measurement. When a measurement point is specified in an enlarged image in an enlarged image generating process on the original image obtained by capturing an object to be measured, and when the specified point is to be long moved on the screen, it is moved with pixel spacing of the original image. When the feature point is specified in more detail, it is moved with pixel spacing finer than the pixel spacing of the original image, thereby efficiently performing an operation in a short time. Furthermore, by switching the above-mentioned settings, a measurement point can be more easily specified in a short time.

Abstract: A measuring endoscope apparatus captures a target of measurement, generates an original image, and performs a measurement based on the position of the measurement point on the original image. The apparatus can easily specify the measurement point with high precision, and realize high precision measurement. For example, the measurement point by a re-sampling image generated by moving sampling points by a spacing smaller than a pixel spacing of the original image obtained by capturing a target of measurement.
