Abstract
To provide a phase contrast microscope capable of overcoming an optical effect of an observation target on a phase contrast image, a control apparatus for a phase contrast microscope, and a control method for a phase contrast microscope. [Solving Means] A phase contrast microscope according to the present technology includes a phase ring, an opening ring, and a condenser lens. The opening ring is movable in a first direction with respect to the phase ring. The condenser lens is movable in the first direction with respect to the phase ring independently from the opening ring.
Claims6
A phase contrast microscope, comprising:
- a phase ring;
- an opening ring that is movable in a first direction with respect to the phase ring;
- and
- a condenser lens that is movable in the first direction with respect to the phase ring independently from the opening ring.
A control apparatus for a phase contrast microscope, comprising:
- obtaining an adjustment image including an opening ring image that is an image of an opening ring and a phase ring image that is an image of a phase ring;
- and
- adjusting, based on the adjustment image, a position of the opening ring with respect to the phase ring and a position of the condenser lens with respect to the phase ring.
A control method for a phase contrast microscope, comprising
- adjusting, based on an adjustment image including an opening ring image that is an image of an opening ring and a phase ring image that is an image of a phase ring, a position of the opening ring with respect to the phase ring and a position of a condenser lens with respect to the phase ring.
