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 13):
A light shielding member, comprising:\n a tubular main body portion configured to surround an observation window of an imaging portion imaging fluorescence from an observation target, wherein the main body portion includes a base end portion detachably attached to the imaging portion, and a tip end portion pressed to the observation target or a placement surface of the observation target, and a length of the main body portion along an axis direction is a length wherein a surface including the tip end portion is included in a focus adjustment range of the imaging portion when the base end portion is attached to the imaging portion.
