Abstract:
When an observation target is enabled to be observed by a plurality of types of measuring methods having different principles, to make it possible switch an illuminating method in a plurality of ways to increase types of observation targets that can be observed. An observation target SP is illuminated by at least one of coaxial epi-illumination  24  and non-coaxial epi-illumination  25 . A focus search is performed on the basis of an image acquired by a first light receiving element  50 . The observation target SP is illuminated by a light source  26 . The focus search is performed on the basis of a signal acquired by a second light receiving element  51.

Claim (Index 6):
The magnifying observation apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the magnifying observation apparatus is configured to calculate a reliability index associated with the determined focus position at a time when the coaxial epi-illumination and the non-coaxial epi-illumination illuminates the observation target at a first ratio, determine whether the calculated reliability index satisfies a predetermined reference, and, the first focus searching section causes the coaxial epi-illumination and the non-coaxial epi-illumination to illuminate the observation target at a second ratio different from the first ratio in response to determining that the reliability index does not satisfy the predetermined reference, and determines the focus position corresponding to the observation target illuminated at the second ratio by the coaxial epi-illumination and the non-coaxial epi-illumination.
