<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To select an appropriate pixel area corresponding to a desired depth in a two-dimensional image imaged by a plurality of pixels when acquiring information on an object being observed inside a scatterer using backscattered light. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The scatterer interior observation device includes: a light irradiation means that irradiates the surface of a scatterer 8, which includes an object 7 being observed inside a scattering medium 6, using light with different optical characteristics in the object being observed and the scattering medium; a detection means 11 that has an imaging area including a plurality of pixels, and detects, as a two-dimensional image, the back-scattered light from a light irradiation means 10 with which any light irradiation position on the surface of the scatterer is irradiated; a pixel area determining means for determining, in the two-dimensional image, a pixel area comprising pixels on the imaging area that the light enters, in order to detect, on the surface of the scatterer, the back-scattered light having a predetermined positional relationship with the light irradiation position; and an image forming means for forming a tomographic image of the interior of the scatterer from information on the light intensity from individual pixels constituting the pixel area.
