Claim Text:
1. A microscope system comprising: a wavefront modulator that modulates a wavefront of light from a light source; an objective that irradiates a sample with light whose wavefront has been modulated by the wavefront modulator; a spherical aberration corrector that corrects spherical aberration caused by a difference between a refractive index of a medium between the objective and the sample and a refractive index of the sample; a refractive index calculator that calculates, for each wavelength of the light from the light source, an average refractive index of a medium between the objective and a condensing position of light emitted from the objective on the basis of an amount of the spherical aberration corrected by the spherical aberration corrector; and a controller that controls the wavefront modulator to correct chromatic aberration calculated on the basis of the average refractive index for each wavelength that has been calculated by the refractive index calculator.
