An endoscope system includes an endoscope including at least one switch, each of which can be assigned two functions, and a controller. The controller sets a plurality of function pairs, each of which is composed of a combination of any one of a plurality of first functions and any one of a plurality of second functions, and assigns one function pair selected from the plurality of function pairs to the switch, measures a switch pressing time period after the switch is pressed, and executes the first function when the switch pressing is released before a predetermined first time period elapses after the switch is pressed and executes the second function when the switch pressing time period passes the first time period.

An image pickup apparatus includes: an optics system that forms an optical image of a subject on an imaging surface; a variable magnification lens that is part of the optics system, that is provided to be movable in a direction of an optical axis of the optics system, and that enlarges or reduces the optical image formed on the imaging surface in association with a movement of the variable magnification lens; a position detection unit that detects a position of the variable magnification lens in the direction of the optical axis; a storage unit that stores output characteristic information about a characteristic of an output of the position detection unit according to a position of the variable magnification lens in the direction of the optical axis; and a driving control unit that performs a control for moving the variable magnification lens on the basis of the output characteristic information.

In a disinfector system for use in disinfecting a water current into a disinfected water current, the disinfector system comprises a conduit (22) which extends along a vertical direction. The conduit has an inlet port and an outlet port and guides the water current from the inlet port to the outlet port. The water current is shaped into a water current film by a shaping section (25) which is connected to the outlet port. The water current film is irradiated by an electron beam to be disinfected into the disinfected water current. The electron beam is produced by an irradiating section (12). The disinfected water current is spurted to a discharge section (13).
