An arrangement, equipped with a holder 9 , which supports a solid immersion lens 3 in the gravity direction with the bottom surface of solid immersion lens 3 being protruded downward through an opening 9 b, is provided. With this arrangement, when solid immersion lens 3 is set on an observed object, solid immersion lens 3 is put in a state in which it is raised by the observed object and is made free with respect to holder 9 . Also in this state, an excessive pressure will not be applied to the observed object and yet solid immersion lens 3 is put in close contact in conformance with the observed object and temperature drifts at the holder 9 side or the observed object side are cut off from the counterpart side and thus the influences of such temperature drifts are eliminated. A solid immersion lens holder, with which the damaging of the observed object can be eliminated and which enables high-precision observation, is thus provided.
