Abstract
An inverted microscope of the present invention comprising a microscope main body including a relay optical system which forms a primary intermediate image of a sample by a light from the sample irradiated with an irradiation light via an objective lens and an image forming lens, and which relays a light flux from the primary intermediate image, and a light path switch unit which is disposed in the microscope main body to be attachable/detachable, and which branches the light flux relayed by the relay optical system.
Claims17
An inverted microscope comprising:
- a microscope main body including a relay optical system which forms a primary intermediate image of a sample by a light from the sample irradiated with an irradiation light via an objective lens and an image forming lens, and which relays a light flux from said primary intermediate image;
- and
- a light path switch unit which is disposed in said microscope main body to be attachable/detachable, and which branches the light flux relayed by said relay optical system.
An inverted microscope comprising:
- a microscope main body including a relay optical system which irradiates a sample with an irradiation light via an objective lens, forms a light from said sample as a primary intermediate image of said sample via said objective lens and an image forming lens, and relays a light flux from said primary intermediate image;
- a observation tube including an observation-side image forming optical system which forms the light flux relayed by said relay optical system as an observation image of said sample;
- and
- an intermediate attachment unit which is disposed between said microscope main body and said observation tube to be attachable/detachable, and which includes a light path split member to split the light flux relayed by said relay optical system to an observation light path to guide the light flux into said observation-side image forming optical system and an imaging light path to guide the light flux into a predetermined imaging apparatus.
