A fluorescent image obtaining apparatus for obtaining as an image the data
relating to the fluorescent light emitted from a measurement portion upon
the irradiation thereof by an excitation light, wherein by amplifying
only the intensity of the fluorescent light, the S/N ratio of the
fluorescent image based thereon is improved, is provided. The statistical
quantities of a fluorescent image obtained by a wide-band fluorescent
image obtaining element and a narrow-band fluorescent image obtaining
element are computed by a statistical quantity computing means. If the
statistical quantity is smaller than a predetermined value, the
magnification rate of the imaging optical system is controlled by a
magnification rate control means so that the fluorescent image is reduced
and focused on the wide-band fluorescent image obtaining element and the
narrow-band fluorescent image obtaining element.
