Switching between a normal observation and a magnified observation is possible by fixing the first lens group and the third lens group, and moving the second lens group. The third lens group includes a cemented lens. The cemented lens includes an object-side lens and an image-side lens, and the following conditional expressions (1) and (2) are satisfied:0.471<02−01<0.475  (1)52.6<01−02<53  (2).
