Provided is a system for synchronously driving light-dispersing elements capable of synchronously and sequentially changing an excitation-light wavelength and a fluorescence wavelength at high speeds. The system includes: a first light-dispersing unit having a first light-dispersing element and a first pulse motor; a second light-dispersing unit having a second light-dispersing element and a second pulse motor; a memory section for storing light-dispersing element information relating to a change in the wavelength of the monochromatic light and the dynamic characteristics information of the pulse motors; a drive condition setting section for allowing an operator to set synchronous drive conditions; a pulse transmission pattern creator; and a pulse transmitter.
