Abstract
A fundus observation apparatus includes an illumination optical system, a two-dimensional image sensor, and a deflecting member. The illumination optical system is configured to illuminate a fundus of a subject's eye with line-shaped illumination light. The two-dimensional image sensor is configured to receive returning light of the illumination light from the fundus on a movable focal plane at a position substantially conjugate optically to the fundus. The deflecting member is configured to couple an optical path of the illumination light and an optical path of the returning light and to scan the fundus with the illumination light by deflecting the illumination light in synchronization with a movement of the focal plane. The deflecting member has a configuration that allows the returning light to be transmitted through a first region and to reflect the illumination light in a second region different from the first region.
