Summary:There is provided a microscopic observation technique capable of detecting a light-emitting object or a light-emitting particle moving in a thick sample by the scanning molecule counting method. In the inventive technique, the light from a light detection region of is detected the optical system of a confocal or multiphoton microscope is detected with while moving the light detection region in each observed subregion obtained by dividing a region to be observed into plural regions; the signal of the light from a light-emitting particle is individually detected; and the position of the light-emitting particle corresponding to the detected signal is determined in the region to be observed. The moving of the position of the light detection region in each observed subregion is performed continuously in at least two directions or and/or continuously multiple times in each observed subregion.
