In a microscope system in which at least one of a stage on which a sample4is mounted and an objective lens6can move relatively in a direction of an optical axis, a contact judgment section12judges the possibility of contact between the sample4and the objective lens6based on a result of comparison between a detection output from a contact sensor11which detects contact between the sample4and the objective lens6and a preset threshold value, excessive contact between the sample4and the objective lens6is avoided based on a result of this judgment, and a threshold value in the contact judgment section12is updated based on the output from the contact sensor11every predetermined time.
