ABSTRACT:
A scanning optical microscope using a wavefront converting element suffers minimum off-axis performance degradation and allows the wavefront converting element to be controlled by a simple method. Further, a pupil relay optical system is simple in arrangement or unnecessary. A laser scanning microscope includes a laser oscillator6and a wavefront converting element5for applying a desired wavefront conversion to a laser beam15emitted from the laser oscillator6.An objective7collects a wavefront-converted approximately parallel laser beam17emerging from the wavefront converting element5onto a sample9.A detector29detects signal light emitted from the sample9.An actuator8scans the objective7along a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.
