In A confocal microscope, a mirror reflects illumination light to focus on a focal point face of a sample through an object lens. The mirror is rotated to scan a focal point of the illumination light. A confocal image provided based on returned light from the sample. The confocal microscope has a first multipinhole array which has a plurality of pinholes, and to which light emitted from a light source is illuminated, and a second multipinhole array which has a plurality of pinholes, and intercepts light from other than the focal point face out of the returned light from the sample. The first multipinhole array functions as a plurality of point light sources, and the illumination light is light which passes through the pinholes of the first multipinhole array.
