An endoscopic system includes an endoscopic device having a light guide passing therethrough to a distal end thereof, a light source in communication with the endoscopic device, the light source transmitting illumination light to the light guide, a light source controller in communication with the light source, the light source controller controlling an intensity of the illumination light transmitted to the light guide, and at least one temperature sensor, at least a portion of which is carried by the endoscopic device. The temperature sensor senses a temperature of at least a portion of the endoscopic device and produces a signal indicative of the sensed temperature, the signal being transmitted to the light source controller. The light source controller varies the intensity of the illumination light transmitted to the light guide based at least in part upon the signal indicative of the sensed temperature. |
