Abstract
A structured illumination microscopic device includes a first spatial modulation unit spatially modulating a fluorescent sample using an excitation light having a sinusoidal illumination distribution of a spatial frequency K and having an optical frequency ωfor shifting a fluorescent substance to an excitation level; a second spatial modulation unit spatially modulating the fluorescent sample using a stimulation light having a sinusoidal illumination distribution of a spatial frequency K and having an optical frequency ωfor shifting the excited fluorescent substance to a base level; and an imaging unit obtaining, as a modulated image, an image of the fluorescent sample with spontaneously emitted light generated at the fluorescent sample in accordance with the excitation light and the stimulation light.
