Claim Text:
1. A system for scanning an object with illumination light to acquire an image of the object, comprising: a light source configured to output the illumination light; an optical scanner configured to receive the illumination light from the light source, and scan the object with the illumination light; a light scan controller configured to control the optical scanner; an optical system configured to guide light from the object; an imaging device comprising a light receiving section in which a plurality of pixel rows configured to capture the light guided by the optical system are arranged, and an imaging control section configured to control signal readout of the light receiving section, and configured to perform signal readout by rolling readout of each of the plurality of pixel rows from the light receiving section; and a calculator configured to calculate an interval of signal readout between adjacent pixel rows, based on a moving speed of an illuminated region on the light receiving section with scanning by the optical scanner, wherein the imaging control section controls signal readout of each pixel row, based on the interval of the signal readout thus calculated.
