A particularly constructed objective lens unit is provided for reflective fluorescence that transmits excitation light well, generates little self-fluorescence, and can correct for various aberrations. The objective lens unit has a front lens group closer to a specimen side than a rear lens group. Among the lens components forming the front lens group, at least the lens components arranged on the specimen side are formed from a prescribed optical material. This optical material has a higher transmissivity for excitation light and generates less fluorescence due to the excitation light than the other lens components forming the objective lens unit. The excitation light, fed into a position path between the front lens group and the rear lens group, is guided through the front lens group to the specimen. An image of the specimen is formed, based on the fluorescence from the specimen, through the front lens group and the rear lens group.
