ABSTRACT:
An endoscope system comprises an endoscope, a camera unit, and a light source unit. A light splitting unit with a combined prism element for splitting light transmitted through an image guide is attached to an ocular section of the endoscope, and an eyepiece to which one split light travels and an additional image guide with one end face to which the other split light travels are fixed to the light splitting unit. A camera is attached to the other end of the additional image guide by means of a camera mounting unit. A light shutting plate for intercepting a light path between the prism element and the eyepiece is slidably disposed in the light splitting unit. When the light shutting plate is slid to intercept the light path, the shutter of the camera unit is released, and flash light is supplied from the light source unit to a light guide of the endoscope.
