ABSTRACT:
An optical microscope includes a light source which irradiates a sample with illuminating light. A mirror, which has a variable reflection surface, reflects the illuminating light. A correction table stores plural data of plural shapes of the reflection surface which correspond to changes in a focal position and an aberration. A controller selects, from the plural data stored in the correction table, data of one of the shapes of the reflection surface that is suitable for correcting the focal position and the aberration. And the controller controls the mirror so that the reflection surface forms the shape corresponding to the selected data.
