  • Patent number: 10684459
    Abstract: A light observation device has a light splitting optical system for splitting observation light of an observation object; an imaging lens for focusing split beams to form optical images thereof; an imaging device arranged at image formation positions of the two optical images and being capable of performing independent rolling readout in a pixel row group included in a region corresponding to the image formation position of one optical image and in a pixel row group included in a region corresponding to the image formation position of the other optical image; and a control unit for independently controlling the rolling readout in the one pixel row group and in the other pixel row group; the control unit performs control such that a direction of the rolling readout in the one pixel row group and a direction of the rolling readout in the other pixel row group are identical.
