PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform high-resolution imaging by illuminating a specimen with an arbitrary high-resolution light intensity pattern despite bending of an optical fiber.SOLUTION: An imaging device 100 comprises: a wavefront transmission part 101 including a plurality of single mode fibers a wavefront generation part 102 which forms a wavefront of light and makes the wavefront incident to one end of the wavefront transmission part a conversion part 103 which is provided at the other end of the wavefront transmission part and converts the wavefront transmitted by the wavefront transmission part to generate a light intensity pattern having a specific light intensity distribution in order to illuminate a specimen and an observation part 104 which is provided on the side of the one end of the wavefront transmission part and observes, through the conversion part and the wavefront transmission part, the intensity of reflected light or fluorescence from the specimen illuminated with the light intensity pattern.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】光ファイバの曲げにかかわらず、標本を任意かつ高解像度な光強度パターンで照明して高解像度なイメージングを行う。【解決手段】撮像装置は100、複数のシングルモードファイバを含む波面伝達部101と、光の波面を成形し、該波面を波面伝達部の一端に入射させる波面生成部102と、波面伝達部の他端の側に設けられ、波面伝達部により伝達された波面を変換して、標本を照明する特定の光強度分布を有する光強度パターンを生成する変換部103と、波面伝達部の上記一端の側に設けられ、光強度パターンで照明された標本からの反射光または蛍光の強度を、変換部と波面伝達部とを介して観測する観測部104とを有する。【選択図】図1
