Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an optical system, an endoscope, and a medical image processing system capable of adjusting an effect of extending a depth of field.
A medical image processing system includes: a light source that irradiates an observation target with light; an image capturing control unit that controls capturing of an image of the observation target irradiated with the light; and an endoscope including a scope having a tubular shape and made from a rigid or flexible material, a camera head including an imaging element that captures an image, and an optical element insertion unit provided between the scope and the camera head. Further, the optical element insertion unit includes two or more optical elements having the effect of extending the depth of field, and at least one of the optical elements is movable. The present technology is applicable to, for example, a medical image processing system including an EDOF optical system.
