Abstract

A microscope system that performs structured illumination includes a light source configured to emit illumination light, an objective lens that irradiates a specimen with the illumination light, a phase-modulation spatial light modulator that has a two-dimensional pixel structure, that is arranged at the pupil conjugate position of the objective lens on an illumination light path between the light source and the objective lens, and that is configured to modulate a phase of the illumination light for each pixel so as to form a fringe illumination pattern on the specimen on the basis of an optical parameter of at least one of the light source and the objective lens.
