A change in a substance in a depth direction of an analyte is easily estimated. An analysis and observation device includes: a library holding section that holds a substance library in which a substance is associated with a type of an element constituting the substance and a content of the element; and a component analysis section that estimates a type of an element constituting a substance and a content of the element based on a spectrum, and estimates the substance based on estimated characteristics and the substance library. The component analysis section estimates a type of an element constituting a substance, a content of the element, and the substance at each of a plurality of positions having different analysis depths.

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscope

A magnifying observation apparatus obtains a plurality of first luminance images by controlling an illumination section so as to illuminate an observation target with illumination light from a first illumination direction and controlling a change section and an imaging section so as to image the observation target, obtains a plurality of second luminance images by controlling the illumination section so as to illuminate the observation target with illumination light from a second illumination direction symmetric with the first illumination direction about an optical axis and controlling the change section and the imaging section so as to image the observation target in a plurality of different focal positions, and generates a roughness enhancement image that enhances roughness on the surface of the observation target by applying depth synthesis and roughness enhancement.
