A microscopic observation apparatus that irradiates an observation target with excitation light to observe fluorescence generated from the observation target, the microscopic observation apparatus includes a light source that irradiates the observation target with excitation light; a first optical system that light-controls a plurality of light rays including fluorescence generated from the observation target by radiating the excitation light and part of the excitation light; a filter that reduces an intensity of light in a wavelength band of the excitation light among the plurality of light rays light-controlled by the first optical system; and a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements that converts a plurality of light rays that has passed through the filter into electricity.

Microscopic observation apparatus, fluorescence detector, and microscopic observation method

According to one embodiment, a biosensor includes a substrate and a sensor matrix that is present in a two-dimensional region on the substrate. The sensor matrix includes a plurality of basic blocks. Each of the basic blocks includes at least three types of sensor elements.

Biosensor

A certain embodiment provides an observation method using a microscopic imaging device which has a solid-state imaging device having a plurality of pixels arranged at predetermined intervals, each of the pixels including a microlens configured to collect light, and a light receiving unit configured to receive the light collected by the microlens. The observation method includes mounting an object to be observed on the microlenses or above the microlenses by disposing a specimen containing the object to be observed on the microscopic imaging device, and imaging the object to be observed, mounted on the microlenses or above the microlenses by a solid-state imaging device.
