ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for photographing an image of a sample observed through a microscope comprises a photometry region designating unit, an optical member for superimposing an image of an indicator light beam on an image of an object light beam, an area sensor, a reflecting member for reflecting the object light beam and the indicator light beam and guiding them to the area sensor, a photometry region determining unit, a photometry unit, and a photographing unit. The photometry region designating unit generates an indicator light beam which is movable in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the object light beam output from an objective lens. The photometry region determining unit stores a photometry signal supplied from the area sensor in correspondence with a position of a light receiving plane, detects the position of the light receiving plane, on which the indicator light is projected, by using the photometry signal, and determines a photometry region based on the detected position. The photometry unit measures the brightness of the photometry region determined by the photometry region determining unit and calculates a photometry value. The photographing unit photographs an image of the sample based on the photometry value.
