Abstract: A lens-barrel device includes: a relay optical system that relays a primary image formed by an imaging lens to an object plane of an eyepiece to form a secondary image; a first reflection optical system that reflects and bends the light flux from the imaging lens; a second reflection optical system that reflects and bends the light flux that has passed through the first reflection optical system; a third reflection optical system that reflects and bends the light flux that has passed through the second reflection optical system; an additional optical system that transmits the light flux for forming an image different from the secondary image, on the object plane of the eyepiece; and a compositing optical element that guides the light flux from the additional optical system to a light path to the object plane of the eyepiece.

Abstract: A microscope includes a stage on which a specimen is configured to be placed, an epi-illumination optical system having a fluorescence illumination light source configured to irradiate the specimen with excitation light of a predetermined wavelength, a transmitted-light illumination optical system, and a light shielding member. The transmitted-light illumination optical system includes a transmitted-light illumination light source having a white LED, and a condenser having a condenser lens configured to collect light emitted from the transmitted-light illumination light source onto the specimen and configured to move in a direction orthogonal to an illumination optical path so as to be insertable onto and removable from the illumination optical path.

Abstract: A microscope includes a wire grid polarizing beam splitter that reflects a light emitted from a light source to a direction of an observation optical axis to cause the light to enter an objective lens, and transmits a reflected light from a specimen to cause the reflected light to enter an imaging lens; and a quarter wavelength plate that is placed between the objective lens and the specimen.

Abstract: The present invention has a three-dimensional apparatus including a lattice pattern placed in an optical path and having a slit-like light transmitting portion formed of pitches set at fixed intervals, and a projecting optical system that projects a lattice pattern image formed by the lattice pattern on the sample so that the image is inclined at a predetermined angle. A lattice pitch is determined on the basis of set parameters including the magnification of an observing system. A pattern is formed by the lattice pitch. The pattern is used to pick up a deformed lattice pattern image using a TV camera. An image of each position is acquired while shifting the lattice pattern over several levels. A phase is determined. A height is then determined using the difference between the phase and a basic phase corresponding to a pre-provided magnification or the like. The height is then displayed.
