Endoscope system and operation method for endoscope
First Claim
1. An endoscope system, comprising:
- a first endoscope device provided with an endoscope in which an illumination device, an image pickup device and a first balloon are attached to a tip part of an insertion part of the endoscope, and with an insertion assisting tool into which the insertion part of the endoscope is inserted, which assists insertion of the insertion part into a body cavity, and to a tip part of which a second balloon is attached;
a second endoscope device provided with an endoscope in which an illumination device, an image pickup device and a first balloon are attached to a tip part of an insertion part of the endoscope, and with an insertion assisting tool into which the insertion part of the endoscope is inserted, which assists insertion of the insertion part into a body cavity, and to a tip part of which a second balloon is attached;
a display device for displaying an object image photographed by an image pickup device of each of the first endoscope device and the second endoscope device; and
a control device for controlling light quantity of one of the illumination devices, based on a level of luminance signal outputted from a solid state image pickup element of the image pickup device of the first endoscope device, when the image pickup device detects illumination light irradiated from the illumination device of the second endoscope device, or based on a level of luminance signal outputted from a solid state image pickup element of the image pickup device of the second endoscope device, when the image pickup device detects illumination light irradiated from the illumination device of the first endoscope device.
