Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus for acquiring a plurality of optical coherence tomographic images of an inspection object based on a plurality of combined light beams obtained by combining a plurality of return light beams from the inspection object irradiated with a plurality of measurement light beams and a plurality of reference light beams corresponding to the plurality of measurement light beams, the imaging apparatus comprising: an intersection image acquisition unit configured to acquire an intersection image of the inspection object in a direction intersecting a direction in which the inspection object is irradiated with the plurality of measurement light beams; an intersection image display control unit configured to cause a display unit to display the intersection image; a scanning range display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display scanning ranges of each of the plurality of measurement light beams on the intersection image, a position display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display acquired positions of the plurality of optical coherence tomographic images on the intersection image; a tomographic image display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display the plurality of optical coherence tomographic images in real time; a plurality of mirrors separately disposed in optical paths of the plurality of reference light beams; and an adjustment unit configured to adjust positions of the plurality of minors in directions of optical axes of the optical paths of the plurality of reference light beams when the plurality of the optical coherence tomographic images is displayed on the display unit in real time.
