A focusing device that includes a differential interference prism used in differential interference observation in a focusing detection optical system includes: a light source that emits light with which a measurement surface of an observation sample is irradiated; a photo detection unit that detects light from the measurement surface; a focusing detection unit that detects an error signal near a focusing point of the measurement surface on the basis of an output signal from the photo detection unit; and a condition changing unit that changes an acquisition condition of the error signal.

Focusing device including a differential interference prism

The microscope system comprises: an imaging apparatus used for picking up an image of a specimen; an electric unit; a control apparatus for controlling turning On and Off of the power supply to the electric unit; a storage apparatus storing the initialization requirement time of the electric unit; and a drive management arithmetic operation apparatus for calculating, on the basis of an image pickup interval and initialization requirement time, a clock time for controlling turning On/Off of the power supply to the electric unit.
