    Abstract: A spectral measurement method of the present invention includes: a measuring step of measuring optical spectra of some sections specified among a plurality of sections on a specimen; a scalar-value calculating step of calculating, for individual measured sections, scalar values that represent information contained in the obtained optical spectra; an interpolating step of interpolating scalar values of unmeasured sections by using the calculated scalar values and by using two types of interpolation methods; an identifying step of identifying sections in which absolute values of differences between the two scalar values interpolated by using the two types of interpolation methods are equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold; and a repeating step of re-executing steps from the measuring step to the identifying step after specifying the identified sections.

    Abstract: Provided is a microscope provided with: a scanner that scans an excitation beam coming from a light source; an objective optical system that focuses the scanned excitation beam onto a sample and that collects fluorescence generated at individual scanning positions in the sample; a detector that detects the collected fluorescence; a light blocking member that is disposed between the detector and the system and that partially blocks the collected fluorescence; a switching portion that switches the positional relationship between the member and a light-focusing point of the excitation beam in the sample between an optically conjugate positional relationship, in which an in-focus fluorescence generated at the light-focusing point passes through the member, and a non-conjugate positional relationship, in which the in-focus fluorescence is blocked by the member; and a computing portion that computes a difference between fluorescence signals acquired by the detector in the two positional relationships.

    Abstract: With a spectroscopic analysis method of the present invention, by performing principal component analysis on optical spectra measured at individual positions of a specimen, principal components of a plurality of orders that constitute the individual optical spectra are calculated; for the individual orders, principal-component images in which values thereof are principal-component scores of the individual principal components corresponding to the positions are created; distribution patterns of the principal-component scores are identified in the individual principal-component images; the morphology of the specimen is identified in a morphological image in which the specimen is captured; the principal-component images that have principal-component-score distribution patterns correlated with the morphology of the specimen are identified; and the individual optical spectra are reconstructed by using the principal components of orders corresponding to the orders of the identified principal-component images.
