Abstract

Excitation light is irradiated to a region of interest in a living body, the excitation light causing the region of interest to produce intrinsic fluorescence. An image displaying system acquires image information in accordance with the intrinsic fluorescence and displays the acquired image information. The image displaying system comprises a light intensity detecting device for an entire measurement wavelength region of the intrinsic fluorescence, a light intensity detecting device for a partial measurement wavelength region of the intrinsic fluorescence, and a display device. The display device displays a display color in accordance with a ratio between the light intensity, which has been detected by the light intensity detecting device for the entire measurement wavelength region, and the light intensity, which has been detected by the light intensity detecting device for the partial measurement wavelength region. The display color is displayed by the utilization of an additive color mixture process.
