A confocal microscope comprises a light source unit having at least two
light sources which generate lights having different wavelengths, an
objective lens which condenses light from the light source unit on a
sample, a light scanning unit which scans the light form the light source
unit on the sample two-dimensionally, and a photonic crystal fiber which
is disposed between the light source unit and the light scanning unit,
and which propagates the light led from the light source unit to the
light scanning unit side, wherein the photonic crystal fiber has a
plurality of air holes arranged at a clad provided at a periphery of a
core.
