A microscope comprising:
- a stage portion on which a sample is laid;
- an optical portion which is disposed confronting a surface opposite to a sample laying surface of the stage portion and whose optical axis is linearly disposed to take in an optical image of the sample laid on the stage portion;
- an image pickup portion which is disposed in an image forming position of the optical portion and which converts the optical image of the sample formed by the optical portion into an electric signal;
- and
- a lighting mechanism including a plurality of position adjustment portions which variably adjust an irradiation direction of a lighting head for irradiating the sample laid on the stage portion with a lighting light to set a lighting mode.
