POLARIZATION OBSERVATION DEVICE

摘要

A polarization observation device includes: an image pickup device that photoelectrically converts returned lights from an object; a light source section that generates lights in a plurality of wavelength bands different from each other; and at least one wavelength selective polarization element that is arranged between the light source section and the image pickup device and separates a predetermined polarization component with respect to light in a specific wavelength band and does not change the polarization component with respect to light in a wavelength band other than the specific wavelength band.
