Abstract:
A scanning microscope includes a laser configured to emit laser light, an objective configured to focus the laser light on an object, a scanner configured to scan the object in a direction orthogonal to an optical axis of the objective, a varifocal lens configured to scan the object in an optical-axis direction of the objective by changing a lens shape of the varifocal lens, a first relay lens configured to project the scanner onto the varifocal lens, a second relay lens configured to project a pupil of the objective onto the varifocal lens, a photodetector configured to detect fluorescence generated from the object upon the laser light being focused on the object by the objective, and a dichroic mirror configured to separate the fluorescence and the laser light emitted from the laser from each other. The varifocal lens is located between the objective and the scanner.

Claim (Index 3):
The scanning microscope according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a confocal pinhole located at a position between the dichroic mirror and the photodetector, the position being optically conjugate to a front focal position of the objective, wherein the dichroic mirror is located between the scanner and the laser.
