Abstract:
An image acquisition system  1  includes: a light source  3  which outputs illumination light; an optical scanner  7  which scans a sample S with the illumination light; an optical scanner control unit  9 ; a detection optical system  15, 17  which focuses fluorescence from the sample S; an imaging device  19  which has a light receiving surface  19 c  in which a plurality of pixel rows  19 d  are arranged, and an imaging control section  19 b , and which can perform signal readout of each of the plurality of pixel rows  19 d  from the light receiving surface  19 c ; and a calculation unit  21  which calculates an interval of signal readout between adjacent pixel rows  19 d , based on a moving speed of an illuminated region on the light receiving surface  19 c ; the imaging control section  19 b  controls signal readout of each pixel row  19 d , based on the interval of the signal readout thus calculated.

Claim (Index 25):
A method comprising:\n setting a scan speed of an optical scanner to scan an object with illumination light; setting a rolling readout speed of a CMOS camera including a plurality of pixel rows and for performing signal readout by rolling readout of each of the plurality of pixel rows to acquire an image of an object illuminated by the scanned illumination light so that the scan speed and the rolling readout speed are synchronized; generating an external signal by calculating based on the rolling readout speed on a computer, wherein the external signal comprises data indicative of an interval of start timing of signal readout between adjacent pixel rows; scanning the object with illumination light on the scan speed by the optical scanner; focusing florescence generated by irradiating the object with the illumination light; controlling start timing of signal readout of each pixel row of the CMOS camera is controlled based on the external signal; capturing the florescence image by the controlled CMOS camera.
