PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a good front image of an eye to be inspected. SOLUTION: A scanning laser ophthalmoscope is an objective lens system 17, 50 including at least one lens, and illumination light emitted from a laser beam emitting unit 11 is transmitted to an eye E to be inspected through the objective lens system 17, 50. A photographing optical system including an irradiation optical system 10 for irradiating the fundus Er and a light receiving optical system 20 including light receiving elements 25, 27, 29 for receiving the reflected light from the fundus via the objective lens systems 17, 50. , A captured image is generated based on a signal from any of the light receiving elements 25, 27, and 29. Further, the control unit of the scanning laser ophthalmoscope controls imaging to acquire a front image of the fundus and a background image for the front image of the fundus, which includes at least a background image including a reflection image by the objective lens systems 17 and 50, respectively. Further, by performing the background difference based on the front image of the fundus and the background image, an image in which the influence of the reflected image is suppressed in the front image of the fundus is generated as the difference image.
