Abstract:
1. An electronic endoscopic apparatus comprising: an endoscopic scope that is insertable into a biological body; an imaging device that is provided in the front-end part of the endoscopic scope; a signal processing unit that processes a captured image signal obtained by the imaging device to generate an observation image; a monitor device that displays the observation image; and a control unit that controls the signal processing unit to generate a high definition observation image and a high sensitivity observation image as the observation image, the high sensitivity observation image being constituted by pixel data corresponding to those obtained by combining n data selected from pixel data constituting the high definition observation image as one set, wherein the control unit makes the signal processing unit generate the high sensitivity observation image at the time of screening the inside of the biological body by the endoscopic scope, and generate the high definition observation image at the time of precise inspecting for an interest area in the biological body, and n is a natural number equal to or more than 2.
