Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an endoscope system that includes an insertion component, a light source, a light sensor, and a controller.
- The insertion component is inserted into a subject and has a base end and a tip end.
- The light source emits two types of light: first light and second light with a different hue.
- The light sensor receives reflected light from the tip end of the insertion component.
- The insertion component includes a first light guide member that emits the first and second light as illumination light.
- The insertion component also includes a second light guide member that guides the reflected light.
