PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscopic apparatus capable of optionally changing a color tone of illumination light according to an observation object and a diagnostic scene.SOLUTION: An endoscopic apparatus 100 comprises illumination means emitting illumination light from an endoscope distal end 35, and image pickup means having an image pickup device 21 for capturing an image of an observation object area of a subject irradiated with illumination light. The illumination means includes a plurality of types of light sources 45 and 47 with different light-emitting wavelengths, and color tone control means 49 that changes a ratio of respective quantities of outgoing light of the plurality of types of light sources 45 and 47 to change the color tone of the illumination light.【課題】観察対象や診断場面に応じて照明光の色調を任意に変更可能な内視鏡装置を提供する。【解決手段】照明光を内視鏡先端部35から出射する照明手段と、照明光の照射された被検体の被観察領域を撮像する撮像素子21を有する撮像手段と、を備えた内視鏡装置100であって、照明手段が発光波長の異なる複数種の光源45,47を有し、複数種の光源45,47の各出射光量の比率を変更して照明光の色調を変更する色調制御手段49を備えた。【選択図】図1
