Summary of the invention
Shown in patent documentation 1, the objective for dark-ground observation of the mode that the directional light that dark field illumination is used imports abreast from the optical axis of the outside of objective system and objective system, there is following problem.
In the patent documentation 1, outside microscopical optical system, need to be provided with in addition one and comprise light supply apparatus and the light that this light supply apparatus sends is converted to the collimation optics of directional light, and its directional light is coupled to the lamp optical system of the coupling optical system in the microscopical optical system.Under the situation of the formation of patent documentation 1,, therefore reduce from the diffraction light of object of observation thing or the contrast that diffuses because dark field illumination light is understood some light in the eyepiece optical system that bled by objective system (scattered light).
In the dark field that imports dark field illumination is used the outside annulus of lens barrel, in order to support urceolus, and inner core between need three linking arms at least, its shadow occurs as illumination light, because the part of this shadow tails off the light quantity of shining in object of observation zone.In addition, also need optical element for the influence that reduces this shadow.
In addition, in order illumination light not to be entered objective system circular optical filter need be set, thereby the light quantity that causes entering the dark field viewing area tails off.
The dark field lens barrel of object lens, owing to be provided with the leaded light urceolus that dark field illumination is used, therefore diameter group is big mutually with the objective for bright-field observation lens barrel, can't directly be installed on the converter of bright-field microscope, observes thereby can't use bright-field microscope to carry out dark ground microscope.In addition, only carry out the bright field and observe and since the bright field with lens barrel with respect to the converter of dark ground microscope and diameter is little, therefore on the converter of dark ground microscope, use the bright field also need purchase translation interface with object lens.
In addition, even shown in patent documentation 2, utilize the light source that constitutes by a plurality of LED directly object of observation thing to be thrown light on like that, owing to be not that directional light is shone in object of observation thing, also identical with the bright field observation, so and be not suitable for observing from the diffraction light of object of observation thing or the dark field that diffuses.
And then though used semiconductor laser in the patent documentation 3, laser only imports in the outside of the inner core that photographic element and objective system are housed as directional light, therefore produce with prior art under the identical problem of dark field illumination usefulness lens barrel.In addition, in the technology of this patent documentation 3,, therefore can't use same objective system to carry out the bright field simultaneously and observe owing in the lens barrel camera is housed.In addition, also can't the objective system that multiplying power is different be installed on the microscope and observe with different multiplying powers.
