Claim:
1. A laser scanning microscope system comprising: a mode-locked laser unit configured to radiate a laser beam with a predetermined frequency; an intermittent light-emitting unit configured to intermittently emit the laser beam radiated from the mode-locked laser unit in an intermittent light-emission period to an object; a detector configured to convert a fluorescent signal from the object into an electric signal, the fluorescent signal is generated by the intermittently emitted laser beam; and an A/D conversion unit configured to sample the electric signal in a sampling period same as the intermittent light-emission period, wherein the mode-locked laser unit or the intermittent light-emitting unit is configured to cause the laser beam to be incident on the object only in the intermittent light-emission period having a same time period as the sampling period.
