PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To successively capture images by individually lighting a skin surface observation light source and a subcutaneous observation light source by one action without complicated button operation.SOLUTION: A control device (10) for controlling the timing of lighting respective illumination light sources (4P and 4S) and the timing of capturing images by an imaging element (7) includes: an illumination mode selecting means (12) for selecting one of three illumination modes including a preview illumination mode (M1) to simultaneously light the skin surface observation light source (4P) and the subcutaneous observation light source (4S), a skin surface illumination mode (M2) to light the skin surface observation light source (4P) only and a subcutaneous illumination mode (M3) to light the subcutaneous observation light source (4S) only in a preset order and a still image successively capturing means (13) for successively capturing still images in the respective illumination modes (M1-M3) while changing the illumination mode by the illumination mode selecting means (12) when a prescribed trigger signal is transmitted.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】面倒なボタン操作を行うことなく1アクションで皮膚表面観察光源及び皮下観察光源を個別に点灯して各画像を連続的に撮像できるようにする。【解決手段】各照明光源(4P,4S)の点灯タイミングと撮像素子(7)による画像取込タイミングをコントロールする制御装置(10)に、皮膚表面観察光源(4P)及び皮下観察光源(4S)を同時に点灯させるプレビュー照明モード(M1)、皮膚表面観察光源(4P)のみを点灯させる皮膚表面照明モード(M2)及び皮下観察光源(4S)のみを点灯させる皮下照明モード(M3)の三つの照明モードを予め設定した順序で切り換える照明モード切換手段(12)と、所定のトリガー信号が発せられたときに照明モード切換手段(12)により照明モードを切り換えながら、各照明モード(M1~M3)の静止画像を連続的に取り込む静止画像連続取込手段(13)を備えた。【選択図】図3
