Title: Image acquisition device, and imaging device
Inventor: EIJI TODA
IPC: H04N5/374
Filed: 2014-01-22
Abstract: The invention relates to an imaging apparatus, 19, that may be used in an image acquisition system, 1, (such as a scanning or light sheet microscope) that scans an object, S, with an illumination light, 3. The imaging apparatus comprises a light receiving section, 19a, (such as a CMOS image sensor array) made up of a plurality of pixel rows (Figure 3, 19d), in which signal readout from the pixel rows is accomplished using rolling (or continuous) readout based on driving clock by means of an image control section, 19b. An external signal receiving section, 19e, is coupled to a calculation unit, 21, which generates the external signal. The external signal comprises data indicative of an interval of start timing of signal readout between adjacent pixel rows which is calculated to synchronize with a scanning of the object with the illumination light. The interval of start timing of signal readout between adjacent pixel rows is adjusted by changing the number of cycles in the driving clock which defines a period of the signal readout at each of the plurality of pixel rows whilst maintaining the frequency of the driving clock.
