A confocal microscope includes a light source that emits illuminating light beam, an illuminating optical system that irradiates the illuminating light beam onto a specimen, a condensing optical system that condenses the light reflected off the specimen and a light detection unit. The light detection unit includes a mask member, a movable shutter and a light detector. The mask member includes a plurality of reflecting/transmitting surfaces each constituting a light separating surface, and only the central portion of the light flux entering the mask member from the condensing optical system exits through a pinhole. The movable shutter opens or closes off a plurality of pinholes individually, and the light detector detects the light flux having passed through the pinholes.

A spectral image processing method is capable of reducing noise while maintaining necessary information. The spectral image processing method performs processing on a spectral image of a specimen, including a step of normalizing spectra (=spectral brightness curves) of respective pixels constituting the spectral image such that their brightness levels become equal, a step of smoothing the normalized spectra in spatial directions of the respective pixels, and a step of denormalization of multiplying spectra of the respective pixels obtained by the smoothing by either one of brightness levels of the pixels corresponding the spectra and values corresponding to the brightness levels. Consequently, the noise can be reduced while information on brightness distribution on the image is maintained.

An object is to provide a spectroscope and a spectrum laser microscope capable of carrying out sensitivity correction of a multi-channel photodetector with real time. The spectrum laser microscope 100 includes a laser microscope 101 and a spectral analyzer 103 having a multi-channel photodetector 13 composed of a plurality of photodetectors 13i for detecting spectral distribution of the light from the laser microscope 101. Sensitivity fluctuation of the plurality of photodetectors 13i is calculated from a first luminance data detected before shifting relative position between the spectra and the multi-channel photodetector 13 and a second luminance data detected after shifting. Then, the first luminance data or the second luminance data is corrected.
