Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operability by containing a signal line from a TV camera into a universal cord which is connected to a light source unit from an operating part. CONSTITUTION:One signal transmission line 6 of two pieces of signal transmission lines provided together with a power source line 5 in an operating part 1 is a photometric line, the other signal transmission line 7 is a TV signal line, and a TV signal from a CCD 2a being a solid-state image pickup element is supplied through a CCD control part 2b. The power source line 5 and the signal transmission lines 6, 7 extend through the inside of a universal cord 3, and led out to a coupling part 9 to a light source unit 4. In such a way, since a TV camera 2 which has been coupled to the operating part 1, and the light source unit 4 are only connected by the single universal cord 3, other signal line, etc. which become a hindrance do not exist at all, therefore, the operability of the operating part 1 is improved.
