Abstract
The present invention relates to an imaging device including a reducing section configured to reduce superimposition of first and second combined lights upon each other. The first and second combined lights are based on first and second measuring lights that illuminate an examination object. The imaging device according to the present invention also includes an obtaining section configured to obtain an optical coherence tomographic image of the examination object based on the first and second combined lights whose superimposition has been reduced at the reducing section. A sensor having a minimum number of pixels is provided by restricting crosstalk between interference lights at the sensor.
