  • Publication number: 20140313575
    Abstract: A microscope adapter unit disposed on an optical path of illumination light between a light source unit including a light source and a sample surface includes a first lens group having at least one lens and a second lens group having at least one lens. The first lens group converts the illumination light into roughly parallel luminous fluxes, and makes the illumination light enter the second lens group.

  • Patent number: 8760757
    Abstract: An incident-light fluorescent illumination device includes: a light source emitting illumination light; a collector lens receiving the illumination light from the light source; a fly-eye lens optical system receiving the illumination light from the collector lens; an objective emitting the illumination light to a sample surface; and a relay optical system arranged between the fly-eye lens optical system and the objective. The fly-eye lens optical system includes a first fly-eye lens surface and a second fly-eye lens surface each having a plurality of lens elements. The incident-light fluorescent illumination device satisfies the conditional expression of 0.3?D0/Lob?0.75 where: D0 indicates the distance between a conjugate position with the second fly-eye lens surface through the relay optical system and a pupil position of the objective, and Lob indicates a parfocalizing distance of the objective.
