View Patent ↗A microscope apparatus includes a stage for holding a specimen, a stand portion for holding the stage, an arm portion having two arms extending from an upper part of the stand portion to a front side of the microscope apparatus, an optical system supported by the arm portion and configured to enlarge an image of the specimen on the stage, and gripping portions provided respectively on lower parts of the two arms and configured to be gripped by an observer.
1. A microscope apparatus comprising:
a stage for holding a specimen;
a stand portion for holding the stage;
an arm portion having two arms extending from an upper part of the stand portion to a front side of the microscope apparatus, wherein the two arms define an aperture therebetween;
an optical system supported by the arm portion and configured to enlarge an image of the specimen on the stage; and
two gripping portions provided respectively on lower parts of the two arms and configured to be gripped by an observer,
wherein an angle between the two arms is 10° to 30°, and
wherein the two arms are disposed above the stage and extend such that an angle between an upper surface of the stage and the two arms is 10° to 30°.
2. The microscope apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the two gripping portions has a smooth uneven shape along an extending direction of a corresponding arm.
3. The microscope apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the two gripping portions is made of an elastic material and colored with a color that is different from a color of the arm portion.
4. The microscope apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the two gripping portions has at least one protrusion at an end thereof on a side of the optical system in an extending direction of a corresponding arm.
