IMAGE ACQUISITION APPARATUS, IMAGE ACQUISITION METHOD, AND MICROSCOPE

摘要

An image acquisition apparatus includes an image-forming optical system configured to form an image of an observation area in a plane of a subject, an image sensor including a light receiving surface configured to capture an image of the observation area formed by the image-forming optical system, and a rotation unit configured to rotate at least one of the subject and the image sensor within a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the image-forming optical system. By driving of the rotation unit, the image acquisition apparatus changes a relative position of the observation area and the light receiving surface within the plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the image-forming optical system, to capture an image of an area in the observation area not captured at a time of image capturing before driving of the rotation unit.
