Abstract:
1. A confocal laser microscope which obtains a microscopic image while performing two-dimensional scanning using a laser beam converged on an observation target, comprising: an image generation device for generating a confocal image and a non-confocal image of the observation target from light reflected by the observation target; a display device for displaying a plurality of images each of which is the confocal image or the non-confocal image, side by side on a same screen; and a luminance profile operation device, wherein the display device further displays on the screen luminance profiles of the plurality of images displayed side by side on the screen, and the luminance profile operation device simultaneously performs an operation to change at least one of a scale and a display position of the luminance profiles of the plurality of images such that the luminance profiles of the plurality of images can be changed in an engaged operation.
