An inverted microscope (100) includes a lens holding mechanism (6) which holds an objective lens (5, 5') arranged under a sample (1a) and used to form an observation image of the sample (1a); a focusing mechanism (7) which holds the lens holding mechanism (6) on its upper part and moves the objective lens (5, 5') up and down together with the lens holding mechanism (6); and a microscope main body (11) which serves as a casing including the focusing mechanism (7) therein, and includes an opening (11c) allowing an attachment of the focusing mechanism (7) and the lens holding mechanism (6) in its upper wall surface (11a). A size of the lens holding mechanism (6) in a horizontal plane is larger than a size of an image projected onto the horizontal plane of the opening (11c). |
