Abstract

Provided is an endoscopic apparatus for thermal distribution monitoring, and more particularly, an endoscopic apparatus for thermal distribution monitoring that is capable of providing a functional image in which various images such as a real image and a thermal image, are matched to one another. The endoscopic apparatus includes: an image collecting unit including a thermal image collecting unit collecting a thermal image from an image signal of an object and a real image collecting unit collecting a real image from the image signal of the object; a controller transmitting a control signal to the image collecting unit so as to transmit the image signal to one of the thermal image collecting unit and the real image collecting unit according to a preset period; and a display displaying the collected thermal image and real image.
