Claim Text:
1. An imaging apparatus, comprising: a first image acquiring unit for acquiring a first image of an object to be inspected based on first return light from the object to be inspected irradiated with first measuring light via a first focus member for focusing the first measuring light on the object to be inspected; a first electric stage configured to move the first focus member; a second image acquiring unit, including an aberration correction unit, for acquiring a second image of an area corresponding to a part of the first image of the object to be inspected based on second return light from the object to be inspected irradiated with second measuring light via a second focus member for focusing the second measuring light on the object to be inspected; a second electric stage configured to move the second focus member; a changing unit configured to change a lighting position of a fixation lamp; and a focus adjustment unit for (a) adjusting a focus condition of the first focus member and a focus condition of the second focus member by controlling the first electric stage and the second electric stage to respectively move the first focus member and the second focus member in synchronization with each other, (b) controlling the aberration correction unit after the first focus member and the second focus member are moved in synchronization with each other, and (c) adjusting, after changing the lighting position of the fixation lamp, the focus condition of the second focus member by controlling the second electric stage to move the second focus member independently.
