A laser microscope according to the present invention comprises a laser light
source
which generates a laser beam, an optical path split portion which has a plurality
of optical path split elements with different characteristics for separating the
laser beam irradiated to a sample from the laser light source and light returned
from the sample and includes a selection mechanism to switch these optical path
split elements on an optical path, an imaging lens to converge light which is returned
from the sample and is separated in the optical path split portion, a spectrophotometric
detection unit which obtains spectral data of light from the sample, an optical
fiber which guides light from the sample imaged by the imaging lens to the spectrophotometric
detection unit, wherein an incident end face of the fiber is arranged to a position
substantially conjugate to the sample, and a transfer mechanism which moves an
incident end face of the optical fiber in a plane orthogonal to an optical axis
of light incident on the optical fiber.
