Abstract

To acquire an image of a sample. A microscope includes: an illumination optical system that includes a light flux splitter that splits light from a light source into a plurality of light fluxes, and scans a sample in a plurality of directions with interference fringes generated by interference of at least part of the light fluxes split by the light flux splitter; a detection optical system on which light from the sample is incident; a detection device that includes a plurality of detectors that detect the light from the sample via the detection optical system; and an image processor that generates an image using detection results of two or more of the detectors of the detection device.
