Imaging apparatus and endoscope apparatus using the same

摘要

The imaging apparatus and endoscope apparatus comprise an image forming optical system forming the image of an object to be imaged. An imaging device has a sensitivity to a wavelength range ranging from a visible range to a range other than the visible range and converts the image formed by the image forming optical system to an electric signal. A wavelength range divides device dividing the wavelength range ranging from the visible range to the range other than the visible range into a plurality of wavelength ranges. A selects device selecting at least one wavelength range from among the wavelength ranges divided by the wavelength range dividing device. A signal processing device processes the output signals of the imaging device in response to the selected wavelength ranges so as to be video signals.
