Observation device, ultraviolet microscope and observation method
First Claim
1. An ultraviolet light observation device which observes a specimen with ultraviolet light, comprising:
- an objective lens for ultraviolet light observation that observes the specimen with ultraviolet light;
an objective lens for visible light observation that observes the specimen with visible light;
a gas supply device which, during the observation with ultraviolet light, supplies an inert gas to surroundings of the specimen; and
a timing control device which controls supply timing of the inert gas by the gas supply device, wherein the timing control device controls the gas supply device so as to supply the inert gas when there is a changeover from the observation of the specimen with visible light to the observation of the specimen with ultraviolet light.

Abstract
An ultraviolet microscope comprises an observation device which observes a specimen with ultraviolet light; a gas supply device which, during the observation with ultraviolet light, supplies an inert gas to surroundings of the specimen; and a timing control device which controls supply timing of the inert gas by the gas supply device, and the timing control device controls the gas supply device so as to cause preliminary supply of the inert gas before the observation of the specimen with ultraviolet light, and also so as to cause regular supply of the inert gas at least during the observation of the specimen with ultraviolet light.
