Abstract:

To accurately move the focal position of an objective lens by several m without being affected by backlash of a feed mechanism and stepping-out of a stepping motor, or hysteresis or the like of a piezo-actuator.

The observation device 1 includes a light source 3 emitting light of predetermined wavelength, an illumination optical system 4 irradiating an object A to be observed with the light emitted from the light source 3, a detection optical system 5 having the objective lens 12 condensing transmitted light through the object A that is the light with which the object A is irradiated by the illumination optical system, and an image sensor 6 photographing the transmitted light condensed by the detection optical system 5. The detection optical system 5 includes optical distance varying means 13 to 15 changing an optical distance in an optical path between the object A and the image sensor 6 on the optical path.
