Abstract
The present invention is concerning an imaging device comprising: a photoelectric conversion unit that generates imaging signals corresponding to imaging light received from an imaging object; a summation unit that performs summation of the imaging signals generated by the photoelectric conversion unit; a summation controller that controls the summation unit such that the summation unit performs, per line, an operation of summation of imaging signals acquired from the photoelectric conversion unit during the time period of one line for the number of plural times in periods that are twice as much as that of the spatial frequency of the imaging object or more; and a signal generator that generates and outputs an imaging signal of each line from plural sum outputs generated per line.
