Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify construction of current-to-voltage converter switching in characteristics according to scan speed, and to improve stability of a circuit at the time of the switching. SOLUTION: A current-to-voltage converter 11 is arranged to insert a circuit formed by series-connecting a first resistor R1 with a parallel circuit of a second resistor R2 and a switch SW1, between a non-inverting input terminal and an output terminal of an operational amplifier A1. A control section 10 controls the switch SW1 to be closed when scan speed is high to reduce a feedback resistance and reduce a gain but to widen a frequency band. Only one switch for the current-to-voltage converter 11 is required, so that cost reduction is achieved; and a feedback loop is not opened at the switching time, so that operation of the current-to-voltage converter 11 becomes stable.
