Abstract: An imaging device (1) has an excitation light source (242) that emits excitation light, which excites fluorescent dyes, toward a treatment site of a subject (ST) to whom a drug containing a fluorescent dye has been administered; a first imaging unit (28) images the treatment site and obtains a visible moving image; a second imaging unit (29) obtains a fluorescent image when the treatment site has been irradiated with the excitation light by imaging the fluorescence generated from the fluorescent dye at the treatment site; a composite image generating unit (19) that superimposes the fluorescent image on a visible moving image to generate a composite image; and an image display unit (15) that displays the composite image. The excitation light source emits excitation light having a predetermined pulse width.
