SCANNING CON-FOCAL MICROSCOPE

A scanning con−focal microscope for obtaining an observation image of a sample while changing the focal surface on the sample in the optical axis direction and constituting a three−dimensional image or an image of a large focal depth of the sample. The microscope includes a selection unit (33) for s...

Summary:A scanning con−focal microscope for obtaining an observation image of a sample while changing the focal surface on the sample in the optical axis direction and constituting a three−dimensional image or an image of a large focal depth of the sample. The microscope includes a selection unit (33) for selecting a luminance signal of optimal wavelength band from a plurality of luminance signals having different wavelength bands which are output after photoelectrical conversion of the light from the sample by an image pickup unit and an image constituting unit (32) for using the luminance signal of the optimal wavelength band to constitute a three−dimensional image or an image of a large focal depth of the sample.

Microscope de balayage confocal servant à obtenir une image d'observation de spécimen, tout en modifiant la surface focale de ce spécimen dans le sens de l'axe optique et en produisant une image tridimensionnelle ou image de profondeur focale importante du spécimen. Ce microscope comprend une unité de sélection (33) servant à sélectionner un signal de luminance de bande optimale de longueur d'onde dans une pluralité de signaux de luminance possédant des bandes de longueur d'onde différentes et sortis après conversion photoélectrique de la lumière émise par le spécimen par une unité de saisie d'image et une unité de constitution d'image (32) afin d'utiliser le signal de luminance possédant la bande de longueur d'onde optimale pour constituer une image tridimensionnelle ou une image de profondeur focale importante de ce spécimen.
