A fluorescence image display apparatus is provided; wherein, when a pseudo
color image representing the tissue state of a target subject is
obtained, based on a fluorescence image emitted from the target subject
upon the irradiation thereof by an excitation light, the tissue state can
be recognized regardless of the intensity of the fluorescent light. Based
upon the statistical quantity of a wide band fluorescence image computed
by a statistical quantity computing means, a gain that the wide band and
narrow band fluorescence image data are to be multiplied by is computed
by a gain computing means. A gain multiplying means multiplies the wide
band and narrow band fluorescence image data by the gain, whereby a green
gradation is assigned to the wide band fluorescence image and a red
gradation is assigned to the narrow band fluorescence image, and a
composite image data is obtained by an image composing means.
