<p>A scanning area adjustment apparatus for a scanning confocal endoscope system comprising: a relay lens which enlarges a scanning area of excitation light; a light detection means configured to detect a scanning position of received excitation light on a light-receiving surface; a fluorescent material arranged at a position optically equivalent to the light-receiving surface; a moving means configured to move the relay lens and the light detection means; an scanning area change means configured to change the scanning area; and a mapping means configured to assign the scanning position to a pixel of the confocal image, and wherein the relay lens is arranged such that a rear focal point substantially coincides with a center position of the light-receiving surface, and the fluorescent material comprises a scale part enabling measurement of a size of the predetermined scanning area.</p> |
