Abstract
An observation device () is provided with: a general observation unit () for observing sample cells by observing an entire container (C) containing the cells and a culture solution; and a magnification observation unit () for magnifying a region within the container (C) and observing the cells, the general observation unit () and the magnification observation unit () each individually having lighting for illuminating the cells with light, and an optical system for observing the cells. The general observation unit () and the magnification observation unit () are thereby each provided with an individual optical system and lighting, making it possible to configure an appropriate observation unit for use both when the cells are observed by observing the entire container (C) and when a part within the container (C) is magnified and the cells are observed.
