Abstract
Description
図3は、本発明の一実施形態に係る顕微鏡100の構成例を示した概略図である。この顕微鏡100は、例えば試料に対して赤外光又は可視光を選択的に照射することができる赤外顕微鏡である。顕微鏡100には、図1及び図2に示したカセグレン鏡200の他、試料ステージ1、赤外光源2、可視光源3、検出器4及びカメラ5などが備えられている。
図4は、下カセグレン鏡200Bを保持するカセグレン鏡保持機構6の構成例を示した断面図である。このカセグレン鏡保持機構6は、下カセグレン鏡200Bを保持する保持部61を備えている。保持部61は、副鏡202が主鏡201に対して上方に位置するような姿勢で下カセグレン鏡200Bを下方から保持する。
図5A~図5Cは、回転調整機構60を用いて複数の支持棒232の回転位置を調整する際の態様について説明するための図である。図5A~図5Cでは、上カセグレン鏡200Aの複数(例えば3本)の支持棒232及び下カセグレン鏡200Bの複数(例えば3本)の支持棒232を軸線Lに沿って見たときの図が示されている。
(1)本実施形態では、回転調整機構60により、軸線Lに対して副鏡202を支持する複数の支持棒232の回転位置を調整することができる。したがって、当該回転位置を適切に調整すれば、複数の支持棒232による光の遮蔽を最小限に抑えることができる。
上記実施形態では、同軸上に1対のカセグレン鏡200(上カセグレン鏡200A及び下カセグレン鏡200B)が配置された場合に、下カセグレン鏡200Bにおける複数の支持棒232を回転させるような構成について説明した。しかし、このような構成に限らず、上カセグレン鏡200Aにも回転調整機構60及び保持部61などの同様の構成を採用することができる。この場合、上カセグレン鏡200Aの回転位置のみを調整するような構成であってもよいし、上カセグレン鏡200A及び下カセグレン鏡200Bの両方の回転位置を調整するような構成であってもよい。
