Abstract:
A fluorescence observation method includes a fluorescence imaging step of imaging fluorescence from an observation target by an imaging portion. The fluorescence imaging step includes a darkening step of darkening a space between the observation target and an observation window of the imaging portion by pressing a tip end portion of a light shielding member to the observation target or a placement surface of the observation target, in a state where a base end portion of the light shielding member including a tubular main body portion is attached to the imaging portion to surround the observation window, and a focus adjustment step of adjusting a focus position of the imaging portion.

Claim (Index 2):
The fluorescence observation method according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the focus adjustment step is performed before the darkening step, and the focus position of the imaging portion is adjusted such that the focus position of the imaging portion becomes a position of a surface including the tip end portion of the light shielding member.
