Description

ABSTRACT:
In an optical tomography system for obtaining a tomographic image of an object to be measured by detecting interference light of the reflected light and the reference light, a controller switches between a first detecting mode in which the interference light is detected at a first wavelength resolution and a second detecting mode in which the interference light is detected at a second wavelength resolution higher than the first wavelength resolution.
