PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a corneal endothelial cell imaging apparatus which ensures that a best image of a corneal endothelial surface (corneal endothelial cells) is captured by increasing the number of times the corneal endothelial surface is imaged and preventing the illumination position of slit light from being displaced, and also to provide a control method therefor.SOLUTION: The corneal endothelial cell imaging apparatus includes: an illumination optical system for projecting slit light toward the cornea of a subject eye an imaging optical system for capturing an image of a corneal endothelial surface by receiving light reflected off the corneal endothelial surface of the cornea to which the slit light from the illumination optical system is projected a plural-image capturing system arranged within the imaging optical system and causing the imaging optical system to capture a plurality of images differently focused on the corneal endothelial surface.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】角膜内皮面の撮影回数の向上と、スリット光の照明位置のずれ防止とを図ることにより、角膜内皮面(角膜内皮細胞)の最適な撮影画像を確実に取得することができる角膜内皮細胞撮影装置及びその制御方法を提供する。【解決手段】被検眼の角膜に向けてスリット光を照射する照明光学系と、照明光学系からのスリット光の照射により角膜の角膜内皮面にて反射した反射光を受光して、角膜内皮面の画像を取得する撮影光学系と、撮影光学系内に設けられ、角膜内皮面に対するピントを異ならせた複数の画像を撮影光学系に取得させる複数画像取得系と、を備える。【選択図】図2
