FINGERTIP CAPILLARY BLOOD FLOW OBSERVATION MICROSCOPE

To provide a fingertip capillary blood flow observation microscope which can easily align a microscope to a portion for observing a blood flow of capillary of fingertip of a hand of a subject, suppress blur of a finger when observing, and easily observe the blood flow of capillary of fingertip only by focusing the microscope.SOLUTION: A fingertip capillary blood flow observation microscope includes: a first holding member 20 and a second holding member 30 which can rotate around a rotary shaft 10; finger housing sections 41 and 42 which are provided on inner surfaces of a holding section 21 of the first holding member 20 and a holding section 31 of the second holding member 30 which face each other; a microscope body 60 having a focusing function which is attached to the second holding member 30 so that a tip faces the holding section 21 of the first holding member 20; and a cuticle stopper 70 provided on the inner surface of the holding section 31 of the second holding member 30. An optical axis of the microscope body 60 is configured to match a nail root section adjacent to a cuticle of a fingernail in a state where a tip of the cuticle stopper 70 is caught by the cuticle of the fingernail.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】被験者の手の指先の毛細血管の血流を観察しようとする部位に顕微鏡を簡単に位置合わせでき、観察時の指のぶれを抑制でき、顕微鏡のピントを合わせるだけで容易に指先の毛細血管の血流を観察できる指先毛細血管血流観察顕微鏡を提供する。【解決手段】指先毛細血管血流観察顕微鏡は、回動軸１０の周りに回動可能な第１挟持部材２０および第２挟持部材３０と、第１挟持部材２０の挟持部２１および第２挟持部材３０の挟持部３１の互いに対向する内面に設けられた指収容部４１、４２と、先端部が第１挟持部材２０の挟持部２１に臨むように第２挟持部材３０に取り付けられたピント合わせ機能を有する顕微鏡本体６０と、第２挟持部材３０の挟持部３１の内面に設けられた甘皮ストッパー７０とを有し、甘皮ストッパー７０の先端が指の爪の甘皮に引っ掛った状態において顕微鏡本体６０の光軸が指の爪の甘皮に隣接する爪根部に合うように構成される。【選択図】図１
