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 7):
The fluorescence observation method according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a reagent applying step of applying a fluorescence reagent to the observation target, wherein in the fluorescence imaging step, the observation target is irradiated with excitation light, and fluorescence generated at the observation target in response to the irradiation of the excitation light is imaged by the imaging portion.
