Abstract
A nonlinear optical microscope apparatus includes: an objective for irradiating a laser beam on a sample; a beam diameter change unit for changing a beam diameter of the laser beam incident to the objective; and a control unit for deciding, for each of optical characteristics of the sample, a pupil filling ratio, which is a ratio of the beam diameter of the laser beam incident to the objective to a pupil diameter of the objective, based on the optical characteristics of the sample, and for controlling the beam diameter change unit so that the pupil filling ratio becomes the decided value.
