Abstract
According to the present invention, there is disclosed a microscope system comprising a single microscope comprising a laser source, a light path splitting unit which splits a light path of a laser beam from the laser source into at least two, a plurality of optical fibers upon which laser beams on the light paths split by the light path splitting unit are incident, and a plurality of different microscope optical systems which use the respective laser beams passed through the plurality of optical fibers.
