We investigate Dirac fermions on the surface of the topological insulator Bi2Se3 using scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Landau levels (LLs) are observed in the tunneling spectra in a magnetic field. In contrast to LLs of conventional electrons, a field independent LL appears at the Dirac point, which is a hallmark of Dirac fermions. A scaling analysis of LLs based on the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization condition allowed us to determine the dispersion of the surface band. Near the Fermi energy, fine peaks mixed with LLs appear in the spectra, which may be responsible for the anomalous magneto-fingerprint effect [J. G. Checkelsky et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 246601 (2009)].
