ABSTRACT:
An endoscope system comprises an electric scope and a light source apparatus. The light source apparatus has a light source and a light control apparatus. The light control apparatus adjusts a quantity of light that is incident to the electric scope, based on a comparison between a scope characteristic that indicates a relative value of the quantity of light that can be incident to the electric scope and a light source total characteristic that indicates a relative value of the quantity of the light radiated from the light source to the electric scope.
