Abstract:
An observation apparatus observes an observation object moving in a flow path with a fluid, and includes a light source, a splitting unit, a combining unit, a collimator, a cylindrical lens, an objective lens, a collimator, a cylindrical lens, an objective lens, a modulation unit, an imaging unit, an analysis unit, and the like. The imaging unit includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a direction intersecting with a moving direction of an image of the observation object on a light receiving plane on which the image of the observation object moving in the flow path is formed, and receives combined light output from the combining unit to repeatedly output a detection signal indicating a one-dimensional interference image. The analysis unit generates a two-dimensional image of the observation object on the basis of the detection signal.

Claim (Index 1):
An observation apparatus for observing an observation object moving in a flow path with a fluid, comprising:\n a light source configured to output light; an interference optical system configured to split the light into first split light and second split light, reflect or transmit the first split light by the observation object, and combine the first split light and the second split light to output combined light; a modulator configured to temporally change a phase difference between the first split light and the second split light at the combining; an imager including a plurality of pixels arranged in a direction intersecting with a moving direction of an image of the observation object on a light receiving plane on which the image of the observation object is formed, and configured to receive the combined light to repeatedly output a detection signal indicating a one-dimensional interference image; and an analyzer configured to generate a two-dimensional image of the observation object on the basis of the detection signal.
