Abstract:
In a virtual slide scanner device, a stage supports a prepared slide in which a sample is fixed. A light source illuminates the prepared slide. An imaging device captures an image of the sample formed by an object lens. An X direction shifting mechanism and a Y direction shifting mechanism shifts a light beam in a two-dimensional direction in a light path from the object lens and the imaging device. A shift control unit controls the X direction shifting mechanism and the Y direction shifting mechanism. A signal processing unit produces a synthesized image by synthesizing shifted pixel images captured by the imaging device by shifting the light beam in the two-dimensional direction using the X direction shifting mechanism and the Y direction shifting mechanism.

Claim (Index 3):
The imaging device according to  claim 2 , wherein\n the pixel shift table stores an amount of mechanical backlash caused by the two-dimensional shifting mechanism in association with the predetermined shifted pixel position, and the shift control unit refers to the pixel shift table and return the light beam from desired shifted pixel position to the reference point by driving the two-dimensional shifting mechanism in an opposite direction by adding the amount of backlash associated with the shifted pixel position to the amount of manipulation.
