<p>It is possible to accurately and clearly distinguish abnormal tissue, such as cancer cells, with a clear fluorescence image using fluorescence emitted from a fluorescent probe, while suppressing the influence of autofluorescence. Provided is a fluorescence endoscope system (1) for observing fluorescence from a fluorochrome attached to or absorbed in biological tissue, including an excitation light source (4) that emits excitation light that excites the fluorochrome; an image-acquisition section (3) that acquires fluorescence emitted from the biological tissue when irradiated with the excitation light from the excitation light source (4); an autofluorescence signal setting section (5) that sets an autofluorescence signal intensity to be emitted from the biological tissue when irradiated with the excitation light; and an image compensation section (6) that compensates fluorescence image information acquired by the image-acquisition section (3) on the basis of the autofluorescence signal intensity set by the autofluorescence signal setting section (5).</p> |
