In a light source apparatus for a fiberscope, a xenon lamp (36) for producing light of a required dose for illuminating a scene to be photographed through a light guide (10) during the presence of a synchronizing signal, an integrating circuit (50, 56) for integrating light reflected from the scene according to the synchronizing signal, a comparator (60) for producing a coincidence signal when the output signal of the integrating circuit (50, 56) coincides with a predetermined signal, a rotary solenoid (88) energized according to the coincidence signal from the comparator (50, 56) and a shutter plate (42) mounted on a shaft of the rotary solenoid (88) and serving to prevent light from the xenon lamp (36) from entering the light guide (10) when the solenoid (88) is energized are provided. Further, the light source means comprises a feedback circuit (68, 72) for supplying the output signal of the comparator (60) through a positive feedback path to the integrating circuit (50, 56) to saturate the output signal thereof. |
