An optical probe system comprises an optical probe that is inserted into a
body cavity, a light source that generates light which is irradiated to
an object, and a high-magnification observation unit included in the
distal section of the optical probe. The optical probe system further
comprises: an image digitization unit that digitizes a luminance signal
produced by the high-magnification observation unit; an image parameter
sampling unit that samples an image parameter from an image; an
optimization parameter calculation unit that calculates an optimization
parameter on the basis of the image parameter; an image optimization unit
that optimizes an image according to the optimization parameter; an image
display device on which an optimized image is displayed; and a digital
image preservation unit in which a digitized image is preserved.
