Abstract
A scanning microscope device includes a light source that emits laser light; an X-Y galvanometer mirror that scans the laser light on a sample; an objective lens that irradiates the sample with the scanned laser light and collects fluorescence generated at an irradiated position; a non-descan-detection excitation DM that is disposed between the X-Y galvanometer mirror and the objective lens and separates the laser light and the fluorescence from each other; a fiber that receives the separated fluorescence through an entrance end thereof and emits the fluorescence from an exit end thereof that is formed in a substantially linear shape; a diffraction grating that disperses the fluorescence emitted from the exit end of the fiber in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the exit end; and a multi-anode PMT having plural cells arrayed in the dispersing direction of the dispersed fluorescence.
