The present invention relates to a confocal microscope and the measuring methods of fluorescence and the polarized light using the same, and said confocal microscope is provided with the inlet optical part ( 10, 10 ') to let the polarized light from an illuminating light source ( 11 ) onto an object to be observed ( 2 ) via a matrix type liquid crystal device ( 22 ) provided with a microlens array ( 21 ) on its top part, and an objective lens ( 23 ), the light detecting part ( 30, 30 ') to detect the reflected or the fluorescent light from the object to be observed, and the liquid crystal control subpart ( 52 ) to control a liquid crystal device ( 22 ), and it transmits the light passing through said microlens array ( 21 ) from each microlens to each pixel ( 22 a) of the liquid crystal device ( 22 ), and makes a plurality of foci ( 24 ) on the object to be observed ( 2 ) by the objective lens ( 23 ), as well as controls polarization directions of the lights transmitted through each pixel of the liquid crystal device ( 22 ) using the liquid crystal control subpart ( 52 ) so that they are made mutually orthogonal.
