<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a microscope system configured to observe a fluorescent observation image and a normal observation image in real time. <P>SOLUTION: The microscope system includes a fluorescent imaging apparatus 8 and a visible light imaging apparatus 4 so as to simultaneously observe both the fluorescent observation image 12 and the normal observation image 5. Accordingly, the system is usable for, e.g. an anastomosis operation of a lymphatic vessel A and a venous vessel B. The fluorescent observation image 12 and the normal observation image 5 can be displayed adjacent to each other in a display device 11 with the same visual field and the same magnification, thus, the position of the fluorescence in the normal observation image 5 can be easily confirmed. A xenon lamp 3 is used as a light source. The xenon lamp 3 includes both a wavelength range of exciting light for indocyanine green widely used as a fluorescent probe and a wavelength range for normal illumination, consequently, only the single light source is needed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
