Title: Hiroshi Kishimoto: Innovator in Scanning Microscopy

Introduction

Hiroshi Kishimoto is a prominent inventor based in Yokohama, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of microscopy, holding a total of 12 patents. His work focuses on developing advanced scanning microscopes that enhance imaging capabilities.

Latest Patents

Kishimoto's latest patents include a scanning microscope and a scanning laser microscope. The scanning microscope is designed to acquire undistorted images of a sample using a simple configuration. It utilizes a galvano-scanner that rotates a scanning mirror based on a supplied driving signal to scan the sample with illumination light. The sampling circuit samples the electric signal from the observation light in synchronization with a sampling clock. This innovative approach allows for effective sampling only when the scanning mirror is at a predetermined position.

The scanning laser microscope, on the other hand, obtains images by performing line-by-line scanning with laser light. It includes a scanner and a controller. The controller calculates the required line scanning time based on the frame rate and adjusts the drive waveform data accordingly. This ensures that the scanning time matches the calculated requirements, leading to improved imaging performance.
