Imaging apparatus and imaging method

摘要

An imaging apparatus for imaging a two-dimensional image of an imaging object comprises a holder which holds a sample container carrying a biological sample as the imaging object on a carrying surface, a light emitting part which emits light toward the carrying surface, an imager which includes a strip-like light receiving part, receives the light incident on the light receiving part and thereby images an image of a strip-like region of the carrying surface, a strip-like light shield which shields a part of light emitted from the illuminator toward the strip-like region, and a mover which integrally and relatively moves the light emitting part, the light receiving part and the light shield with respect to the sample container.

1. An imaging apparatus for imaging a two-dimensional image of an imaging object, comprising:
a holder which holds a sample container carrying a biological sample as the imaging object on a carrying surface; an illuminator which emits light from a light emitting part facing the carrying surface of the sample container held by the holder toward the carrying surface; an imager which includes a strip-like light receiving part provided at a side of the carrying surface opposite to the light emitting part and along a first direction parallel to the carrying surface, receives the light incident on the light receiving part and images an image of a strip-like region along the first direction out of the carrying surface; a strip-like light shield which extends in a direction parallel to the first direction between the light emitting part and the carrying surface and shields a part of light emitted from the light emitting part toward the strip-like region; and a mover which integrally and relatively moves the light emitting part, the light receiving part and the light shield in a second direction parallel to the carrying surface and intersecting with the first direction with respect to the sample container held by the holder.
