Irradiating the illumination light which is generated LED of multiple colors (23r, 23g and 23b) with, the color sensor which detects the breakdown of LED (27) with, the light equipment which it possesses (3) and by light equipment (3) to the suffering inspection body, the monitor which displays the image which was treated is done the scope which incorporates the optical image of the suffering inspection body CCD which image pickup it does the optical image (2) and the suffering inspection body (13) with, CCD (13) with the video processor which treats the image which image pickup (4) and by the video processor (4) (5) and, to have, the video processor as for (4), the color sensor (27When the breakdown of each, LED is detected) by, when image processing, the breakdown of LED is not detected, it differs, the endoscope system which is changed to the image processing where corresponds to the radiation only of LED where breakdown is not detected.複数色のLED(23r,23g,23b)と、LEDの故障を検知するカラーセンサ(27)と、を有する光源装置(3)と、光源装置(3)により発生された照明光を被検体へ照射して被検体の光学像を取り込むスコープ(2)と、被検体の光学像を撮像するCCD(13)と、CCD(13)により撮像された画像を処理するビデオプロセッサ(4)と、ビデオプロセッサ(4)により処理された画像を表示するモニタ(5)と、を備え、ビデオプロセッサ(4)は、カラーセンサ(27)により何れかのLEDの故障が検知されたときは、画像処理を、LEDの故障が検知されていないときとは異なる、故障が検知されていないLEDのみの発光に対応した画像処理に切り替える内視鏡システム。
