Patent ID: 7798955

Claim:
An image generating device comprising: an excitation light emission unit for emitting excitation light with a predetermined wavelength; a white light source for emitting white light; a first light introducing unit for introducing the excitation light to a subject; a second light introducing unit for introducing the white light to the subject; an excitation light scanning unit for scanning the excitation light introduced by the first light introducing unit onto a predetermined region within an illumination region in the subject to which the white light is introduced; a light condensing unit disposed between the excitation light scanning unit and the subject for condensing the excitation light onto the subject; a reflected white light photoreceptor unit for receiving the reflected light due to the white light from the subject; and a fluorescence photoreceptor unit for receiving fluorescence excited in the subject due to the excitation light, wherein the excitation light scanning unit includes an x-axis scanning portion for scanning the excitation light in an x-axis direction and a y-axis scanning portion for scanning the excitation light in a y-axis direction.
