    Abstract: An ophthalmic apparatus includes a light source, an illumination optical system, an optical scanner, an imaging optical system, and a controller. The illumination optical system is configured to generate slit-shaped illumination light using light from the light source. The optical scanner is configured to deflect the illumination light to guide the illumination light to a fundus of a subject's eye. The imaging optical system is configured to guide returning light of the illumination light from the fundus to an image sensor. The controller is configured to control the image sensor using a rolling shutter method. The illumination optical system includes a slit with a slit-shaped aperture capable of being arranged at a position substantially conjugate optically to the fundus, an iris aperture arranged between the light source and the slit, and configured to be capable of being arranged at a position substantially conjugate optically to an iris of the subject's eye; and an optical element arranged between the light source and the iris aperture, and configured to deflect the light from the light source.

    Abstract: An ophthalmic apparatus includes an objective lens, an illumination optical system, an imaging optical system, and an optical path coupling member. The illumination optical system may illuminate a subject's eye with illumination light via the objective lens. The imaging optical system may guide returning light of the illumination light from the subject's eye to an imaging device via the objective lens. The optical path coupling member has a transparent member with a reflective region formed by evaporating a reflective film onto a part of a transmission region of its surface, and is configured to couple an optical path of the illumination optical system with an optical path of the imaging optical system. The transmission region may be arranged substantially conjugate optically to a subject's iris. The illumination light is reflected on the reflective region and the returning light is transmitted through the transmission region.

    Abstract: An ophthalmic apparatus includes an optical system having an illumination and imaging optical systems, a movement mechanism, and a controller. The illumination optical system may illuminate a fundus of a subject's eye with illumination light. The movement mechanism may relatively move the subject's eye and the optical system in an optical axis direction of the imaging optical system. When a corneal curvature radius is R and a distance from a corneal apex position to an imaging aperture conjugate position substantially conjugate optically to the imaging aperture is d, the controller may control the movement mechanism so that light amount of the returning light passing through the imaging aperture becomes less than when a distance in the optical axis direction between the imaging aperture conjugate position and a position of a corneal reflection image of the illumination light is (R/2−d).
