Abstract
A scanning microscope includes: a photodetector that detects light from a sample; a sampling circuit that samples an output signal of the photodetector; and a processor. The processor performs an operation including at least integration on a plurality of items of sampling data sampled by the sampling circuit, determines whether a result of the operation is noise or a signal, and generates pixel data based on a result of the operation and a result of the determination.

A scanning microscope comprising:
- a photodetector that detects light from a sample;
- a sampling circuit that samples an output signal of the photodetector;
- and
- a processor that
- performs an operation including at least integration on a plurality of items of sampling data sampled by the sampling circuit,
- determines whether a result of the operation is noise or a signal, and
- generates pixel data based on a result of the operation and a result of the determination.
A scanning microscope comprising:
- a photodetector that detects light from a sample;
- an integration circuit that integrates an output signal of the photodetector;
- a sampling circuit that samples an output signal of the integration circuit;
- and
- a processor that
- determines whether sampling data sampled by the sampling circuit is noise or a signal, and
- generates pixel data based on the sampling data and a result of the determination, wherein
- the integration by the integration circuit, the sampling by the sampling circuit, and the determination are performed at a time interval shorter than a pixel period.
A pixel generation method for causing a computer to execute processing of:
- performing an operation including at least integration on a plurality of items of sampling data obtained by sampling an output signal of a photodetector;
- determining whether a result of the operation is noise or a signal;
- and
- generating pixel data based on a result of the operation and a result of the determination.
A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program that causes a computer to execute processing of:
- performing an operation including at least integration on a plurality of items of sampling data obtained by sampling an output signal of a photodetector;
- determining whether a result of the operation is noise or a signal;
- and
- generating pixel data based on a result of the operation and a result of the determination.
