An optical coherence tomographic apparatus which obtains a tomographic image of an object based on light obtained by combining return light from the object irradiated with measurement light through a first lens and reference light corresponding to the measurement light, the apparatus comprises a scanning unit provided on an optical path of the measurement light and configured to scan the measurement light on the object； a second lens disposed between the scanning unit and the object； an optical path branching unit disposed between the first lens and the second lens and configured to make the optical path of the measurement light branch off to an observation optical path for observation of the object； a dividing unit that splits light emitted from a light source into the measurement light and the reference light； and a focus lens disposed between the dividing and scanning units.
