Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a microscope that is capable of precisely controlling the amount of an immersion medium held in a gap between an objective lens and a mounting part, and that is capable of observing a specimen without varying the mounting part. The microscope includes a supply port from which an immersion medium is supplied to a gap between a film-like mounting part on which a specimen is loaded and an immersion objective lens, and a suction port that is arranged so as to be able to be brought into contact with an immersion medium supplied from the supply port, and from which the immersion medium can be sucked.

Abstract: Provided is a culture microscope including a culturing space that is provided with a stage on which a specimen is mounted; an adjacent space that is adjacent to the culturing space and in which a driving mechanism of the stage is disposed; a stationary partition that divides the adjacent space and the culturing space and that is also provided with a first through-hole; a tabular movable partition that is disposed at a position where the movable partition closes the first through-hole, that has a second through-hole that is smaller than the first through-hole, that is supported so as to be movable parallel to the stationary partition, and that is larger than the first through-hole; and a lid member that is disposed at a position where the lid member closes the second through-hole of the movable partition and that is supported so as to be movable parallel to the movable partition.
