Claim:
1. A microscope system comprising: an observation optical system that acquires image information at an observation position of a sample; a stimulation optical system that irradiates the sample with stimulation light; an observation position setting section that sets a plurality of the observation positions; a stimulation position setting section that sets a common stimulation position which is irradiated with stimulation light in association with the observation position; an observation position switching section that switches the plurality of the observation positions set by the observation position setting section; a synchronization condition setting section that sets a common synchronization condition in which the timing of acquisition of image information by the observation optical system is associated with the timing of irradiation with the stimulation light by the stimulation optical system; an observation condition registration section that registers the common stimulation position and the common synchronization condition as observation conditions associated with each of the plurality of the observation positions; and a control section that, according to the observation conditions registered in the observation condition registration section, makes the observation position switching section switch the observation positions, makes the observation optical system acquire image information of each of the observation positions, and makes the stimulation optical system irradiate each of the stimulation positions with stimulation light.
