ABSTRACT:
In a confocal laser scanning microscope that is equipped with a first scanning optical system for emitting an observation beam to scan and observe a sample and a second scanning optical system for emitting an excitation beam to scan and stimulate optically a part of the sample, the improvement of providing a micromirror device that simultaneously reflects the observation beam and the excitation beam as multiple sub-beams onto the sample. An optical scanning method using a confocal laser scanning microscope is disclosed that scans a sample with an observation beam and an excitation beam simultaneously using multiple observation beam spots and multiple excitation beams spots, thereby enabling events of short duration to be observed and/or recorded.
