    Abstract: A light sheet microscope includes an objective, an illumination optical system, a correction device, an image pickup device, a first adjustor, a second adjustor and a controller. The controller performs a first focus process and a spherical aberration correction process. The first focus process is a process in which the first adjustor is controlled on the basis of light that is from the light sheet plane and that is detected via the objective so that the light sheet plane and a focal plane become closer when a relative position between the light sheet plane and a sample has been changed. The spherical aberration correction process is a process in which the correction device is controlled so that an evaluation value of the image obtained by the image pickup device becomes greater when the first adjustor has changed the relative position between the light sheet plane and the objective.

    Abstract: A sheet illumination microscope includes an observation optical system and an illumination optical system configured to illuminate a sample from a direction perpendicular to an observation optical axis of the observation optical system. The illumination optical system includes a first optical system configured to emit a flux that has a prescribed sectional shape and that does not have a light intensity distribution within a prescribed range from the center of gravity position of the sectional shape, and also includes a second optical system. The second optical system includes a deflector configured to deflect, toward the observation optical axis, light entering from a direction parallel to the observation optical axis. The second optical system is configured to form, from the flux, a plurality of light sheets that are parallel to a plane perpendicular to the observation optical axis and that have different traveling directions.

    Abstract: A microscope apparatus 10 includes a detection optical system 12 that captures light from a sample S and an illumination optical system 11 that radiates an illumination light onto the sample S. The illumination optical system 11 includes a cylindrical lens 5 that has a power in a first-axis direction and does not have a power in a second-axis direction that is perpendicular to the first-axis direction, a cylindrical lens 6 that has a power in the second-axis direction and does not have a power in the first-axis direction, and a scanner 4 that scans the illumination light in a width direction. The illumination optical system 11 is configured such that the first-axis direction is the width direction described above, and the cylindrical lenses 5 and 6 are arranged posterior to the scanner 4.

    Abstract: An inverted microscope includes a stage supporting a bottom member; an immersion objective disposed facing vertically upward such that a distal end thereof faces a bottom face of the bottom member; an alignment unit moving the stage or the immersion objective in an optical-axis direction of the immersion objective; a liquid injecting unit injecting liquid between the bottom face and the distal end; and a controller controlling the liquid injecting unit, in a state where the bottom face and the distal end are disposed with a gap therebetween, to inject the liquid onto the distal end to form a droplet, and controlling the alignment unit to bring the bottom member and the immersion objective closer to each other to bring the droplet into contact with the bottom face, thereby forming a liquid column, and moving the stage and the immersion objective relative to each other while maintaining the liquid column.

    Abstract: A microscope includes: a chamber that holds a chamber solution in which a cuvette, which contains a sample together with a cuvette solution, is immersed; an immersion objective lens that is disposed outside the chamber and that collects light coming from the sample; a detection optical system that detects the light collected by the immersion objective lens; and a motorized XYZ stage that supports the cuvette inside the chamber to be movable in a direction parallel to an optical axis of the immersion objective lens. The cuvette and the chamber each have a transparent portion that allows transmission of the light from the sample, and the immersion objective lens is disposed facing the transparent portion of the cuvette, with the transparent portion of the chamber interposed therebetween, and is disposed so that an immersion solution is interposed between said immersion objective lens and the transparent portion of the chamber.
