An optical tomographic observation device having a simple configuration and a higher resolution than conventional optical tomographic observation devices and confocal microscopes is provided through the application of homodyne phase-diversity detection and the use of a design in which the following formulae are satisfied, where λ is a laser light source wavelength, ∆λ is the wavelength half width at half maximum, NA is a numerical aperture of an objective optical element, S is the effective area of a light detector, and M is the detection magnification of a detection surface in relation to a condensing surface. |
