Abstract

A microscope includes an objective lens and a microscope body to support the objective lens. The microscope body has inside a hollow portion. The microscope further includes an illumination unit including an illumination optical system to apply illumination light to a sample in cooperation with the objective lens and an inserting / removing mechanism to insert / remove the illumination unit in / from the hollow portion.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a microscope equipped with an illumination optical system. technical background [0002] Conventionally, as a microscope equipped with an illumination optical system, a microscope using Kolar illumination as shown in FIG. 17 is known. The microscope body 10 in FIG. 17 has a shape of an upside-down U-shape when viewed from the side, and is composed of three parts: a base part 10a, a pillar part 10b, and an arm part 10c. One end (the right end in FIG. 17 ) is erected upward, and the arm portion 10c extends horizontally from the upper end of the pillar portion 10b in a state opposed to the base portion 10a. An illumination optical system 16 having a light source 1 , a projection lens 13 , an aperture stop 2 , a field stop 3 , and an illumination lens 4 is arranged on the arm portion 10 c. The illumination optical system 16 constitutes a Kohler illumination. The light source 1 , the aperture stop 2 and the exit pupil of t...
