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 8):
The magnifying observation apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the magnifying observation apparatus is configured to compare a reliability index of the focus position associated with the observation target illuminated by the coaxial epi-illumination and a reliability index of the focus position associated with the observation target illuminated by the non-coaxial epi-illumination and, when the reliability index of the focus position associated with the observation target illuminated by the coaxial epi-illumination is lower than the reliability index of the focus position associated with the observation target illuminated by the non-coaxial epi-illumination, the first focus searching section causes the non-coaxial epi-illumination to illuminate the observation target, and determines the focus position corresponding to the observation target illuminated by the non-coaxial epi-illumination.
