Abstract:
1. A scanning laser microscope that obtains images by performing scanning with laser light, comprising: a scanner that performs scanning with the laser light line by line; and a controller that calculates a required line scanning time that is required as time used for scanning one line by the scanner, based on the time required for scanning one frame that is determined from a frame rate being inputted, wherein the controller selects at least one of the number of data in one line of driving waveform data for driving the scanner and the read cycle of the driving waveform data, as a factor to be adjusted, such that a line scanning time of the scanner to scan one line is made to be substantially equal to the calculated required line scanning time, and wherein the controller further adjusts the selected factor, such that the line scanning time of the scanner is made to be substantially equal to the calculated required line scanning time, and such that the inputted frame rate is set with priority over adjustment of a dividing ratio.
