Abstract
A non-linear microscopy includes an illuminating unit collecting an illuminating light supplied from a light source on a specimen and making a coherent non-linear optical process takes place at a collecting point; a detecting unit detecting a coherent object light occurred in the non-linear optical process and generating a signal indicating light intensity at a light detecting part; and a controlling unit scanning a specimen plane of the specimen by the collecting point and measuring a distribution of the signal on the specimen plane; in which at least one of an optical path of the illuminating light from the light source toward the specimen and an optical path of the object light from the specimen toward the light detecting part is duplicated to a pair of optical paths, and a relationship between the pair of optical paths is set to a symmetric relationship with respect to the specimen plane.
