Abstract:
A microscope device includes an illumination optical system that illuminates a specimen with a light sheet, and a stereo image capturing device that captures images of the specimen in a plurality of different directions in which a resolution based on a triangulation method in a Z direction orthogonal to a direction of one or a plurality of light sheets formed on the specimen by the illumination optical system is less than a thickness in the Z direction of light sheet illumination that comprises the one or the plurality of light sheets.
Abstract:
Fluorescence observation apparatus includes laser scanning fluorescence observation unit and wide field fluorescence observation unit. The former unit includes: lasers; scanning unit that scans sample by laser light; and detector that detects fluorescence from the sample excited by the laser light. The latter unit includes: light source to planar-illuminate the sample; excitation filters that are selectively arranged on light path from the light source, and that correspond to the lasers, respectively; and two-dimensional detector that detects fluorescence from the sample excited by light that has passed through excitation filter arranged on light path from the light source. Each of the excitation filters has optical property in which center wavelength of transmissive band is approximately the same as oscillation wavelength of corresponding laser and bandwidth of transmissive band is approximately the same as tolerance width of oscillation wavelength of corresponding laser.
