Abstract
In a wavelength-variable light outputting apparatus, a diffraction gratingand a shielding memberwhich make wavelength and light quantity variable are attached to galvanometric scannersrespectively, and the latter are swung, whereby the wavelength can be made variable at a high speed while in a state where the light quantity is kept constant. Such an apparatus is useful for capturing a fluorescent image of a biological sample in particular. By way of the shielding memberlight is made incident on the optical fiberand is outputted therefrom, whereby a biological sample SM can effectively be irradiated with light.
