    Abstract: An optical scanning observation apparatus includes a light emission timing controller, a fiber, a driver, a photodetector, an offset processor that corrects an offset value based on an electrical signal output by the photodetector while a light emission timing controller suspends light emission of a light source, and a signal processor that generates an image signal based on the electrical signal for which the offset value was corrected by the offset processor.

    Abstract: An optical-scanning observation device includes: a light source unit outputting illumination light; a light scanning unit scanning the illumination light; a light detection unit detecting signal light produced at each scan position and generating and outputting a light detection signal based on intensity of the signal light; a power supply unit supplying power to the light detection unit; a determination unit determining, every time the light detection signal is output, whether the intensity of the signal light is equal to or greater than a threshold set on the basis of a current capacity of the power supply unit; and an image generating unit generating an image having a pixel value based on the intensity of the signal light. The image generating unit generates an image having a saturated pixel value in a region determined that the intensity of the signal light is equal to or greater than the threshold.

    Abstract: An optical scanning observation apparatus includes: a light source selectively emitting a plurality of illumination lights of different colors; a light emission timing controller controlling light emission timing, based on a predetermined ratio of number of light emissions of each color of the illumination light emitted from the light source; a fiber guiding the illumination light from the light source; an actuator vibratory driving the tip part of the fiber; an optical system for irradiating the illumination light emitted from the fiber; an optical detector; and a signal processor.

    Abstract: The optical scanning endoscope apparatus (10) includes: an illumination optical fiber (11) guiding light form lasers (33R, 33G, 33B) and irradiating the light toward an object (100) from an oscillatably-supported tip part of the fiber; an actuator (21) vibratorily driving the tip part of the illumination optical fiber (11); a photodetector (35) detecting light resulting from the object (100) irradiated with the light from the lasers (33R, 33G, 33B) and converting the detected light into an electric signal; a signal processor (37) generating pixel information based on the electric signal output by the photodetector (35); and a light detection controller (31a) controlling a detection property of the photodetector (35) in a period other than an effective detection period.
