Abstract:
An endoscope apparatus includes: a first endoscope that includes a first observation optical system; a second endoscope that includes a second observation optical system different from the first observation optical system, an exit pupil diameter of the second endoscope being larger than an exit pupil diameter of the first endoscope; an imaging device that is connected to one of the first and the second endoscopes, and includes an aperture diaphragm configured to pass light output from the connected one of the first and the second endoscopes, and an imaging unit configured to receive the light passed through the aperture diaphragm and convert the received light into an electric signal; and an image processing device configured to generate an image by using the electric signal generated by the imaging device. A minimum aperture diameter of the aperture diaphragm is larger than the exit pupil diameter of the first endoscope.

Claim (Index 7):
The endoscope apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein\n the image processing device includes an identifying unit configured to identify the endoscope connected to the imaging device, when the identifying unit identifies that the endoscope connected to the imaging device is the first endoscope, the image processing device generates the image by performing the image processing process that uses the point spread function, and when the identifying unit identifies that the endoscope connected to the imaging device is the second endoscope, the image processing device generates the image by making the degree of enhancement in the contour enhancement process higher than that used when the first endoscope is connected to the imaging device.
