摘要:
A laser-scanning examination apparatus includes a laser light source; an optical fiber through which laser light generated in the laser light source is transmitted; a scan head including a casing for housing a laser scanning unit that scans the laser light transmitted by the optical fiber on a specimen, an objective unit for imaging the laser light scanned by the laser scanning unit onto the specimen; an optical detector for detecting returning light that returns from the specimen to the interior of the casing via the objective unit; a stage for mounting the specimen; and an arm that supports the scan head so that the position and orientation of the objective unit with respect to the stage can be adjusted. The optical detector is provided on an outer surface of the casing except for the surface located in the opposite direction from the direction in which the arm extends from the casing. The laser-scanning examination apparatus has a compact head unit and allows improved ease-of-use by securing a large space around the head unit.

An in-vivo examination apparatus in which the examination angle can be changed while keeping an examination site in focus to carry out accurate in-vivo examination is provided. The in-vivo examination apparatus includes a stage on which a living organism is mounted, a measurement head that irradiates the living organism on the stage with light emitted from a light source and detects light returning from the living organism, and a rotation mechanism that rotates the measurement head about a fixed point on the stage.

An optical microscope has a revolver for selectively inserting a plurality of objective lenses including a low-magnification (very-low-magnification) objective lens on an optical axis for observation light. In fluorescence observation using the low-magnification objective lens, the effective diameter of an observation optical system is set larger than that of an illumination optical system. With this arrangement, fluorescence observation using the low-magnification objective lens can be stably performed. A cube unit having a plurality of cubes corresponding to the respective microscopic methods is arranged in the optical microscope. An auxiliary lens serving as a very-low-magnification objective lens is mounted in this cube unit. The auxiliary lens can be automatically used in observation using the very-low-magnification objective lens. With this arrangement, a compact optical microscope excellent in operability can be realized.
