Abstract:
A measurement apparatus includes: a holding unit that holds at least a specimen to be observed; an illumination unit that emits illumination light to be irradiated to the specimen; a detection unit that is arrangeably provided in the holding unit and detects an intensity of the illumination light on a light irradiation surface of the specimen; a field stop that is formed with an aperture and stops down a field on the light irradiation surface by an image of the aperture that is provided on an optical path of the illumination unit, the aperture through which the illumination light passes and through which an image of the illumination light is projected on the light illumination surface; and a computation unit that computes, based on an area of the aperture and the detected intensity, an intensity of the illumination light per unit area of the light irradiation surface.

Abstract:
A microscope includes a light source; a condenser lens irradiating a sample with a light from the light source; an objective facing the condenser lens across the sample; a first polarization plate placed between the light source and the condenser lens; a condenser turret placed between the first polarization plate and the condenser lens and having a plurality of optical elements placed inside; a polarization plate placed on the image side with respect to the objective; and a compensator placed between the first polarization plate and the polarization plate. In the microscope, according to the observation method, an optical element to be placed in an optical path among the plurality of optical elements placed inside the condenser turret is switched by rotation of the condenser turret.
Abstract:
In a microscope having a plurality of optical units each including a filter block between an objective and a tube lens, the optical unit closest to the objective among the plurality of optical units includes a first filter block provided with an optical filter having a first effective diameter. The optical unit closest to the tube lens among the plurality of optical units includes a second filter block provided with an optical filter having a second effective diameter larger than the first effective diameter.
Abstract:
An irradiance measuring instrument for a microscope is intended to measure irradiance of light emitted from an objective of the microscope. The irradiance measuring instrument for a microscope includes, in an order where the light emitted from the objective proceeds, an optical system including a single lens that has a nearly flat surface oriented toward the side of the objective and also has positive power, and a photodetector configured to detect the light in order to measure the irradiance of the light on the nearly flat surface.
