Abstract

To achieve miniaturization while enabling imaging of both normal light, which includes at least a portion of the visible light wavelength range, and two types of fluorescence. [Solution] The medical stereoscopic observation imaging device comprises a first imaging unit 51 that images a first normal observation light LWR and a first fluorescence LF1, respectively, and a second imaging unit 52 that images a second normal observation light LWL and a second fluorescence LF2, respectively. The first and second normal observation lights LWR and LWL are reflected light from an observation target irradiated with normal light including at least a part of the visible light wavelength band, and are observation lights that have parallax with respect to each other. The first and second fluorescence LF1 and LF2 are fluorescence emitted from the observation target, and have different wavelength bands with respect to each other.
