Abstract
Disclosed is a imaging device and method capable of quickly informing a user of failure of sample creation and preventing useless imaging from being performed. The imaging device includes an imaging unit which images an object, an exposure time calculation unit which calculates, based on an image signal acquired by imaging of the imaging unit, an exposure time of the imaging until a signal value of the image signal reaches a target signal value set in advance, a determination unit which determines whether or not the exposure time exceeds a threshold value set in advance, and a display control unit which, in a case where it is determined that the exposure time exceeds the threshold value set in advance, gives notification of the result of the determination.
Claims20
An imaging device comprising:
- an imaging unit which images an object;
- an exposure time calculation unit which calculates, based on an image signal acquired by imaging of the imaging unit, an exposure time of the imaging until a signal value of the image signal reaches a target signal value set in advance;
- a determination unit which determines whether or not the exposure time exceeds a threshold value set in advance;
- and
- a notification unit which, in a case where it is determined that the exposure time exceeds the threshold value, gives notification of the result of the determination.
