- the work of taking out the dish 3 13 from the container accommodating section 3 92 is also performed by opening the side cover 4 19 and using the gripper 4 61 from the in / out concave section 3 59. Therefore, the dish 3 13 can be taken in and out of the container storage section 3 92 without opening the lid 4 3 1, so that the culture conditions such as the temperature, humidity, and CO 2 concentration of the culture space 3 20 are not disrupted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent adverse effects on the culture of the sample.
- the upper surface of the top plate 3 2 8 of the heater plate 3 17, the missing portion 3 4 5 of the ridge of the frame 3 25, and the upper surface of the upper drive plate 3 2 1 of the drive stage 3 19 are connected. There is no step because it is at the same height. Therefore, when the dish 313 is put in and taken out of the container accommodating section 392, there is no portion where the dish 313 hits, and the dish 313 can be put in and taken out smoothly.
- the left-hand mechanism 350 and the right-hand mechanism 35 Loosen the set screw 3 8 5 2, t and ready to operate the shafts preparative 3 8 7, by pulling the vertical portion 3 9 1 of the operating member 3 8 9, Stuffer preparative 3 8 7 are both container holder 3 5 Move 1 in the A-B direction and press the dish 3 1 3 with the container holder 3 5 1 to change its position in the A-B direction.
- the position of the dish 3 13 in the A-B direction is determined in this way, tighten the setscrew 3 8 5 so that the tip 3 holds the shaft 3 8 7 so that it does not move. Fix the container holder 3 5 1.
- the tissue 3 13 is held by being sandwiched between the rectangularly-shaped distal ends 3 95 of the pair of container holders 3 51.
- the objective lens T of the microscope is inserted through the lens insertion hole 455 of the cover 453, and the sample such as cells placed in the dish 313 is observed.
- the drive stage 3 19 is moved within a range where the outer periphery of the cover 4 53 does not cover the hole 4 49 on the lid side,
- the observation point can be changed while the lid side hole 449 is covered by -4553.
- the culture conditions such as the temperature, humidity, and CO 2 concentration of the culture space 320 are not broken.
- the objective lens T is retracted and the lens insertion hole 4 5 5 Pull out from.
- the cover 4 5 3 is replaced with a closure cover 4 7 3 without a hole, and the lid side hole 4 49 is completely closed.
- the lid 431 is guided to the holding member 397, and is slid in the C direction, and the operation hole 451 is opposed to the dish 313.

- the reference numerals are attached and the description is omitted.
- the lid-side hole is not formed in the transparent glass heater 5 13 of the lid 5 110 of the incubator 5 11 for microscope observation.
- the transparent glass heater 5 17 of the heater plate 5 15 has a lens insertion hole 5 19.
- Reference numeral 5 21 denotes a stainless steel weight as a sample fixing means, and the weight 5 21 is a ring slightly larger in diameter than the dish 3 13. It is formed in the shape of a ring.
- This weight 5 21 prevents the dish 3 13 from lifting when performing oil immersion or water immersion in which liquid oil or water is interposed between the objective lens T and the bottom of the dish 3 13 It is for doing.
- the weight 5 21 and the incubator 511 for microscopic observation constitute a set of incubator for microscopic observation.
- the weight 5 21 is placed on the dish 3 13 stored in the container storage section 3 92. After the oil is dropped on the tip of the objective lens T, the objective lens T is brought close to the dish 3 13, and oil is interposed between the objective lens T and the bottom of the dish 3 13. Then, a sample such as cells placed in the dish 3 13 is observed.
- the dish can be read from the outside of the water tank suite 3 4 7 without opening the lid 5 10.
- the position of 3 13 can be changed, and the observation position of the sample in the dish 3 13 can be changed.
- the transparent glass heater 329 of the heater plate 317 is attached to the lower surface of the inner flange 327, and is held in a suspended state. Therefore, expansion and deformation due to a temperature change such as heat generation of the transparent glass heater 329 are generated not toward the upper surface side but toward the lower surface side of the transparent glass heater 329. Further, since there is a space between the transparent glass plate 329 and the top plate 328, expansion and deformation of the transparent glass plate 329 are not transmitted to the top plate 328.
- the dish 2 Although the one with the sample was used, the observation sample may be put in the dish 220 and attached to the container accommodating part 205 g without the cover 222. In this case, in order to inject chemicals and the like into the observation sample, remove the lid 23 and insert the instrument from the working port 2445 of the transparent glass heater 243 to perform the work. Since the lid 223 is simply removed, the operation can be performed with almost no change in the temperature and the like of the culture space 235.
- the culture medium is sucked out from the culture medium suction hose 231, and the sucked amount of the culture medium is supplied from the culture medium supply hose 229 to perform the reflux culture.
- the present invention is not limited to this. Static culture without replacing the culture solution can be performed using a normal dish without the culture solution supply hose 229 and the culture solution suction hose 231. Of course.

- the dish 220 is placed on the top plate 27 1 Although placed on the top, it is also possible to remove the top plate 271, and to place the dish 220 directly on the upper plate 275.
- the sample container position changing means is composed of the left mechanism section 350 and the right mechanism section 352, the left mechanism section 350 is required to move the dish 313. It is necessary to operate both the right and left mechanisms 3 5 2, but one of the right or left mechanisms is provided, and this one mechanism can hold one dish 3 13
- the configuration may be such that the holder is cantilevered and provided. In this way, the position of the dish 3 13 can be changed by operating one mechanism.
- the weight 52 1 is shown as the sample container fixing means.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the sample container (dish) can be fixed to prevent the sample container from floating.
- the sample container fixing means may be constituted by something other than the weight, for example, a panel for holding the sample container.
- the top plates 271, 328 may be made of brass instead of glass, and in this case, a hole for transmitting light is formed in the central portion of the top plate.
- the frame 261 of the heater plate 259 and the frame 525 of the heater plate 317 may be made of brass.
