Abstract
The present invention relates to a laser scanning microscope that can generate an arbitrary control signal without depending on the configuration of the hardware. A memoryhas a bit width wider than a bit width of drive data based on a drive table for generating a drive signal X for driving a scanner, which is driven by a drive circuitX, to scan a designated scanning area at a designated speed, and stores the drive table, and a controllersets a control signal for controlling a predetermined operation in a predetermined mechanism that has a strict time relationship with the scanning based on the drive data, in bits in the bit width of the memoryX, excluding the bits used by the drive data, and these mechanisms perform the predetermined operation based on the control signal that is read simultaneously when the drive data is read from the memoryX. The present invention can be applied to a confocal laser scanning microscope that observes a sample by performing scanning with laser light.
