Recent observations reveal ~ 20 microquasars with astrophysical jets in our Galaxy. However, the generation mechanism or the composition (i.e. hadronic/leptonic) of the jet is still unclear, as well as those of active galactic nuclei. Multi-wavelength observations are the key to detect the synchrotron and inverse-Compton (as well as π0-decay) emission from the jets. The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) has unprecedented sensitivity, and will provide us the opportunities to study the gamma-rays from the microquasars. Through the survey observation of GLAST, there are also possibilities to reveal unidentified EGRET sources as new microquasars in our Galaxy. As an example of X-ray observations, a recent Suzaku observation of a microquasar GRO J1655-40 is exemplified.
