Abstract: With the invention, when an external force is applied to the tip of an objective lens in a direction intersecting the optical axis thereof, that external force is effectively relieved, thus maintaining the integrity of the objective lens and specimen. The invention provides a microscope examination apparatus including an apparatus main body, a base member secured to the apparatus main body, an objective-lens mounting member for mounting an objective lens unit, and a support mechanism for supporting the objective-lens mounting member in such a manner as to enable movement thereof in a direction intersecting the optical axis of the objective lens unit relative to the base member.

Abstract: In a microscope, a part that is supposed to be directly touched by an observer using the microscope during an observation is formed of conductive rubber, or is provided with a coating of conductive rubber.

Abstract: Caged reagent release experiments are carried out by introducing laser light of a laser light source for the Caged reagent release of a first reflected illumination optical system light path into a sample side through a first dichroic mirror on a cube turret and also introducing excitation light of a mercury lamp for the excitation light irradiation of a third reflected illumination optical system light path into the sample side through a first dichroic mirror on a slider. Laser trap experiments are carried out by introducing excitation light of a mercury lamp for the excitation light irradiation of a second reflected illumination optical system light path into the sample side through a second dichroic mirror on the cube turret and also introducing laser light from the laser light source for the laser trap of the third reflected illumination optical system light path into the sample side through a second dichroic mirror on the slider.
