Abstract
A scanning microscope includes a two-dimensional scanning device that includes a first scanner and a second scanner for scanning, in oscillation motion and with light, a sample in directions orthogonal to each other, the first scanner scanning the sample at a speed higher than a speed of the second scanner, and a scan controller that controls the two-dimensional scanning device.
Claims15
A scanning microscope comprising:
- a two-dimensional scanning device that includes a first scanner and a second scanner for scanning, in oscillation motion and with light, a sample in directions orthogonal to each other, the first scanner scanning the sample at a speed higher than a speed of the second scanner;
- a scan controller that controls the two-dimensional scanning device;
- an photodetector that detects light from the sample scanned by the two-dimensional scanning device;
- and
- a sampling device that samples a signal from the photodetector in both a forward movement period and a backward movement period of the second scanner.

- a two-dimensional scanning device that includes a first scanner and a second scanner for scanning, in oscillation motion and with light, a sample in directions orthogonal to each other, the first scanner scanning the sample at a speed higher than a speed of the second scanner;
- and
- a scan controller that controls the two-dimensional scanning device, wherein
- the scan controller adjusts an output timing for an image validity signal about a scan direction of the second scanner for a drive signal waveform of the second scanner.
