Abstract
A fluorescence observation device for observing fluorescence from an observed subject including a negative switching fluorescent substance that undergoes a transition from a deactivated state to an activated state triggered by activation light, and is excited by pump light when in the activated state includes: a first intensity-modulating unit that intensity-modulates the activation light at a frequency f1; a second intensity-modulating unit that intensity-modulates probe light at a frequency f3 different from the frequency f1, the probe light inducing stimulated emission of the observed subject; a light-receiving unit that receives fluorescence from the observed subject irradiated with the pump light, and the intensity-modulated probe light and activation light; and a sensing unit that senses a component with a frequency of f1±f3 in a reception-light signal from the light-receiving unit.
