CAPSULE TYPE ENDOSCOPE DEVICE

摘要

A capsule type endoscope device capable of obtaining desired images corresponding to the shapes and conditions of different objects. A capsule type endoscope device provided with a light emitting element (29) for illuminating an organism tissue, an image capturing element (20) for capturing an image of the organism tissue, a transmission unit (23) for transmitting image capturing information including the image captured by the image capturing element (20), a memory unit (11) for storing a threshold value (12) for information relating to the distance to the organism tissue, a distance detection unit (22) for detecting information relating to the distance to the organism tissue, and a control unit (26) for comparing with each other the threshold value (12) and the information relating to the distance detected by the distance detection unit (22), selecting an image capturing condition on the basis of the result of the comparison, and outputting the selected image capturing condition to a light emitting element drive unit (10) and/or an image capturing element drive unit (25).
