Abstract
An image observation apparatus includes a first member for fixing an image display unit, a second member for holding an observation optical system and for moving between a retracted position retracted in the first member and a protruded position protruding from the first member in an optical axis direction of the observation optical system, and a guide bar held by the first member and penetrating a guide hole portion provided in the second member in the optical axis direction. The second member has a barrel portion housing the observation optical system, and a projection portion projecting orthogonal to the optical axis direction from the barrel portion, and the projection portion has the guide hole. When the second member is at the retracted position, the projection portion and part of the image display unit overlap each other in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis direction.
