Abstract:
1. A confocal microscope system, for observing a bright field image, a fluorescent image, a confocal image acquired from an observation sample, comprises: a confocal scanner unit having at least a microlens array disc and a pin hole array disc, for scanning a face of the observation sample by a plurality of beam spots, and a relay lens connected to a camera for acquiring observed images; a microscope for holding the observation sample and illuminating an observation light for observing the bright field image and an excitation light for observing the fluorescent image on the observation sample, and having a port part for outputting the observation light acquired from the observation sample to the confocal scanner unit; and a detour light path unit selectively inserted between the port part of the microscope and the confocal scanner unit for branching the observation light from the observation sample and guiding the branched observation light to the relay lens in the confocal scanner unit.
