Abstract
Provided is a microscope apparatus including: a light source; an illumination optical system that radiates illumination light from the light source onto an observation object; an imaging optical system that focuses light from the observation object; and an image acquisition device that acquires an image of the light focused by the imaging optical system. The imaging optical system is provided with: imaging lenses that form a final image and at least one intermediate image; a first phase modulation element that is disposed closer to an object than any of the at least one intermediate image and that gives a spatial disturbance to the wavefront of light from the object; a second phase modulation element that is disposed at a position for allowing the at least one intermediate image to be sandwiched with the first phase modulation element and that cancels out the spatial disturbance given to the wavefront.
