Patent ID: 7518632

Claim:
An endoscope device comprising: an insertion part which includes an observation optical system which captures a plurality of analysis areas for observation; a measuring optical system which captures the analysis area for measurement; a numbering part which numbers observation images of the respective analysis areas captured by the observation optical system; a measuring part which extracts measuring information based on measuring images of the respective analysis areas captured by the measuring optical system; a first storage part which stores first analysis area information which includes the observation images numbered by the numbering part and corresponding measuring information of the analysis areas associated with the observation images extracted by the measuring part; a second storage part which stores second analysis area information which includes new observation images captured by the observation optical system and newly numbered by the numbering part and new corresponding measuring information of the analysis areas associated with the new observation images extracted by the measuring part; and an identifying recognition part which identifies the first analysis area information corresponding to the second analysis area information by comparing the first analysis area information and the second analysis area information, wherein when the second storage part newly stores the second analysis area information, the first storage part stores the second analysis area information corresponding to the first analysis area information identified by the identifying recognition part in addition to the first analysis area information.
