ABSTRACT:
A laser scan microscope comprises a laser scanning observation optical system for irradiating a sample with a laser beam while scanning the beam over the sample, and detecting the beam transmitted through the sample by means of a detector after the beam passes through a condenser lens, an ordinary observation optical system for irradiating the sample through the condenser lens by means of an illumination lamp, so that a transmitted image of the sample is allowed to be observed, and an optical transmission fiber array having a two-pronged structure having a first optical path extending from a condenser lens-side to the detector and a second optical path extending from the condenser lens-side to the illumination lump. The optical transmission fiber array receives a laser beam from the condenser lens-side and introduces the received beam to the detector by use of the first optical path, and the optical transmission fiber array receives light emitted from the illumination lump and introduces the light to the condenser lens by use of the second optical path.
