Abstract
There is disclosed an inverted microscope comprising an objective lens disposed under a sample, a tube lens which is disposed in a light path of an observation light emitted from the objective lens and which forms the observation light into an image, an incident light illumination optical device which is disposed between the objective lens and the tube lens, and which introduces incident light illumination into the light path of the observation light, and an input/output port which is disposed between the incident light illumination optical device and the tube lens, and which splits a light flux from the light path of the observation light or introduces the light flux into the light path of the observation light.

An inverted microscope comprising:
- an objective lens disposed under a sample;
- a tube lens which is disposed in a light path of an observation light emitted from said objective lens and which forms said observation light into an image;
- an incident light illumination optical device which is disposed between said objective lens and said tube lens, and which introduces incident light illumination into the light path of said observation light;
- and
- an input/output port which is disposed between said incident light illumination optical device and said tube lens, and which splits a light flux from the light path of said observation light or introduces the light flux into the light path of said observation light.
An inverted microscope comprising:
- an objective lens disposed under a sample;
- a tube lens which is disposed in a light path of an observation light emitted from said objective lens, and which forms said observation light into an image;
- an incident light illumination optical device which is disposed between said objective lens and said tube lens, and which introduces an incident light illumination light into the light path of said observation light;
- and
- an option port unit disposed between said incident light illumination optical device and said tube lens, and mounted to be attachable/detachable,
- wherein said option port unit includes an optical device for the port which splits or introduces a light flux with respect to the light path of said observation light, switch means for inserting/removing said optical device for the port with respect to the light path of said observation light, and an auxiliary apparatus mounting portion on which an auxiliary apparatus is mounted to receive the light flux split from the light path of said observation light by said optical device for the port or to transmit the light flux inserted in the light path of said observation light, and
- said option port unit is mounted so that the light flux can be split from the light path of said observation light or the light flux can be introduced into the light path of said observation light.

- a tube lens which is disposed on a light path of an observation light emitted from said objective lens, and which forms said observation light into an image;
- an incident light illumination optical device which is disposed between said objective lens and said tube lens, and which introduces an incident light illumination light into the light path of said observation light;
- and
- an option port unit disposed between said incident light illumination optical device and said tube lens, and mounted to be attachable/detachable,
- wherein said option port unit includes an optical device for the port which splits or introduces a light flux with respect to the light path of said observation light, switch means for inserting/removing said optical device for the port with respect to the light path of said observation light, and an auxiliary apparatus mounting portion on which an auxiliary apparatus is mounted to receive the light flux split from the light path of said observation light by said optical device for the port or to transmit the light flux inserted in the light path of said observation light,
- said optical device for the port forms two light paths to be split or introduced with respect to the light path of said observation light, and
- said auxiliary apparatus mounting portion is disposed for said two light paths.
