Abstract
A heat invasion observation apparatus that observes a heat invasion to a biological tissue, the heat invasion observation apparatus includes a fluorescence image generation circuit configured to obtain an image pickup signal generated by picking up an image of fluorescence generated from a heat invasion area in the biological tissue irradiated with exciting light for exciting a substance contained in the heat invasion area, and generate fluorescence image data based on the obtained image pickup signal. The substance contained in the heat invasion area is a substance generated when the biological tissue is thermally processed.
