Abstract
A microscope apparatus according to the present invention includes a bright-field illumination optical system and a fluorescence illumination optical system that respectively radiate illumination light and excitation light onto a sample, an observation optical system that observes observation light from the sample, and a controller that controls the fluorescence illumination optical system so that the excitation light is radiated onto the sample when the irradiation of the illumination light on the sample is prevented by an irradiation preventing portion of the bright-field illumination optical system and so that the irradiation of the excitation light on the sample is prevented when the irradiation of the illumination light on the sample is not prevented by the irradiation preventing portion.
