Abstract
An image acquisition device includes a light source, a spatial light modulator having a plurality of pixels, an objective lens for radiating the light modulated by the spatial light modulator to an observation target, a photodetector for capturing an image of the light from the observation target, and a control unit for controlling an amount of phase modulation of each pixel in accordance with a phase pattern in which phase values corresponding to the plurality of pixels are two-dimensionally distributed. The phase pattern is generated based on a predetermined basic phase pattern. The basic phase pattern includes a first region in which the phase value continuously increases in a predetermined direction, and a second region in which the phase value continuously decreases in the predetermined direction and facing the first region in the predetermined direction.
