Fluorescence emitted from a tissue can be detected efficiently, and excitation light with a plurality of wavelengths can be simultaneously emitted to simultaneously detect fluorescence with a plurality of wavelengths. A laser-scanning fluoroscopy apparatus includes a laser light source of a plurality of wavelengths; a spectroscopic device for splitting laser beams according to wavelength; a focusing lens for focusing the split laser beams; and a wavelength-selecting reflection device which includes a plurality of reflection sections disposed near the focal positions, spaced out at predetermined intervals in a split direction to reflect the laser beams with different wavelengths and a transmission section arranged adjacent to the reflection sections. The laser-scanning fluoroscopy apparatus further includes a diffraction grating for combining the reflected laser beams; a scanning section for two-dimensionally scanning the combined laser beams; an objective optical system for focusing the scanned laser beams onto a tissue; and a photodetector for detecting fluorescence emitted from the tissue. A width dimension, as measured along the split direction, of each reflection section of the wavelength-selecting reflection device is smaller than a width dimension of the transmission section.
