Abstract:
1. An optical image measurement device that has: an interference-light generator configured to split a low-coherence light into a signal light and a reference light and superimpose the signal light propagated through a measurement object and the reference light propagated through a reference object to generate an interference light; a detector configured to detect the generated interference light; and an image forming part configured to form an image of the measurement object based on a detection result from the detector, the optical image measurement device comprising: a scanner configured to scan the measurement object with the signal light; and a controller configured to control the scanner to scan with the signal light in different scan intervals for different regions, in execution of a series of scans with the signal light, wherein the scan interval is an interval between a scanned point and a next point for scanning, or an interval between a scan line and a next scan line, which are scanned in parallel.
