Abstract
An endoscope system includes a CCD camera of the line transfer type located at and within the distal end of an endoscope. The camera produces and supplies a video output to a television monitor, thus enabling medical treatment with laser radiation while the affected area is under observation. Illumination of the affected area and laser radiation used for the medical treatment, are blocked at selected intervals to prevent them from impinging upon the CCD camera at least during a period of operation when the camera is in a charge transfer mode.
