Claim 0:
1. A holographic three-dimensional multi-spot light stimulator device comprising:
a three-dimensional imaging holographic optical system configured to employ fluorescent exciting light to acquire three-dimensional fluorescence distribution information as a self-interfering hologram resulting from fluorescent signal light from a plurality of stimulation target objects; and
a three-dimensional light stimulation holographic optical system configured to employ a light stimulation hologram which is generated on the basis of the acquired three-dimensional fluorescence distribution information to form a plurality of light spots in space, and to impart stimulation simultaneously to the plurality of stimulation target objects; and
wherein the three-dimensional light stimulation holographic optical system includes a first spatial light modulator and a control unit;
wherein the control unit is configured to identify the positions of the stimulation target objects based on the three-dimensional fluorescence distribution information with the same or substantially the same spatial resolution and three-dimensional observation range as the three-dimensional imaging holographic optical system, and to calculate the light stimulation hologram for forming a plurality of light spots simultaneously at the positions of the stimulation target objects and to generate the light stimulation hologram by controlling the first spatial light modulator.
