    摘要: A photoacoustic imaging device includes an excitation light irradiation unit that irradiates the same position of a specimen with two or more beams of pulsed excitation light separated by an irradiation time interval, a detector that detects an acoustic wave generated at the position irradiated with the excitation light by the excitation light irradiation unit, a generator that generates an image of the specimen based on the detected acoustic wave, and a controller that controls the irradiation time interval, the acoustic wave generated with a single beam of pulsed excitation light has multiple positive peaks that periodically occur, and the controller controls the irradiation time interval into a timing at which a second positive peak of the acoustic wave generated with the preceding excitation light is superimposed on a first positive peak of the acoustic wave generated with the subsequent excitation light.

    摘要: A signal processing device according to the present invention is a signal processing device that processes data of a detected ultrasound waveform representing a temporal change in the intensity of ultrasound generated at a measurement position in a specimen and includes: a comparison unit that compares a predetermined standard ultrasound waveform and the detected ultrasound waveform at the measurement position and that calculates a degree of similarity between the predetermined standard ultrasound waveform and the detected ultrasound waveform; and a discrimination unit for discriminating whether or not the measurement position corresponds to a predetermined examination subject on the basis of the degree of similarity.

    摘要: A photoacoustic microscope includes a light source, an objective lens, a light scanner, a photoacoustic wave detector, and a calculation unit. The light source emits excitation light. The objective lens focuses the excitation light within a specimen. The light scanner scans the specimen with the excitation light. The photoacoustic wave detector detects photoacoustic waves. The calculation unit uses a correlation coefficient to calculate a shift in waveform due to a change over time in photoacoustic waves between a standard position and a calculation position. The calculation unit calculates the depth from the standard position at the calculation position based on the shift.
