PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remarkably reduce time and effort required for adjustment of an automatic focusing mechanism. SOLUTION: The microscope includes: an illuminating light source 9; an objective lens 2 that condenses first light, emitted from the illuminating light source 9, onto a specimen 12; the illuminating light source 9 that images first light reflected by the specimen 12 and passed through the objective lens 2; and a focus detecting means 1C that detects the displacement of a microtiter plate 12 from the focused position of the objective lens 2. The focus detecting means 1C has the automatic focusing mechanism that includes a focus detection light source 13 for emitting focus detection light as second light; a focus detection light obtaining means 18 that condenses the focus detection light; and an area setting means 19 by which a focused-state determinable area of the focus detection light obtained by the focus detection light obtaining means 18 can be set to an arbitrary position of the focus detection light obtaining means 18.
