A photographic apparatus is disclosed for use with a stereoscopic microscope having at least two observation light paths for obtaining at least two images having parallax, with the photographic apparatus guiding a light flux that has been split from one of the observation optical paths. The photographic apparatus includes: a connecting part that may be connected to the stereoscopic microscope; at least two image pickup elements, each having an image receiving surface; a beam splitter positioned in an optical path between the connecting part and the at least two image receiving surfaces; and an image relay optical system in each light flux following the beam splitter. Each image relay optical system relays an intermediate image that is formed in each light flux following the beam splitter to a respective one of the at least two image receiving surfaces.
