MICROSCOPE IMAGING DEVICE, AND MICROSCOPE IMAGING METHOD

摘要

A microscope imaging system is provided as one allowing an imaging element to be readily arranged, while facilitating accurate focus adjustment. The microscope imaging system 1A is provided with: a stage 2 having a mount face 2b on which a specimen 3 is to be mounted; an imaging unit 6 having an imaging element 4 for imaging a part of an imaging region set on the mount face 2b; and a optical unit 8 arranged between the stage 2 and the imaging unit 6 and having an objective lens 7 for imaging light from a part of the imaging region onto the imaging unit 6. The specimen 2 is arranged so that the mount face 2b is orthogonal to an optical axis L of the objective lens 7. Since at least one of the stage 2 and the objective lens 7 is configured so as to be movable in a direction A1 obliquely intersecting with the optical axis L while the mount face 2b is kept orthogonal to the optical axis L, the focus can be adjusted on the specimen 3 with high accuracy, without need for execution of complicated angle adjustment for the imaging element 4.
