Multispectrum endoscope and endoscope system comprising same

Abstract

The present invention relates to a multispectrum endoscope and an endoscope system comprising same. The multispectrum endoscope of the present invention comprises: a first light source emitting infrared rays having a plurality of wavelengths; a plurality of multimode optical fibers for guiding the infrared rays emitted from the first light source toward a sample; a second light source emitting a visible ray; an optical fiber for guiding the visible ray emitted from the second light source toward the sample; a lens part for receiving a fluorescent signal emitted from the sample and a visible light signal reflected off the sample; and an optical fiber bundle for guiding the fluorescent signal and/or the visible light signal received by the lens part toward a multispectrum photodetector, wherein the optical fiber bundle is disposed so as to be surrounded by the plurality of multimode optical fibers, and the end portion of the multispectrum endoscope emitting the visible ray surrounds at least a portion of the plurality of multimode optical fibers.
