To provide an observation device with which it is possible to respond to a wide variety of culture vessels, and to stably observe cells in a culture liquid irrespective of the culture vessel used.SOLUTION: Provided is an observation device 1 comprising: an illumination unit for generating illumination light that irradiates cells S floating in a culture liquid W in a culture vessel 13; an image-forming optical system for forming the image of observation light from the cells S irradiated with illumination light by the illumination unit; an imaging unit for receiving observation light formed into an image by the image-forming optical system; and a housing 9 for accommodating the illumination unit, the image-forming optical system and the imaging unit. The housing 9 has a slender cylindrical form insertable into the culture liquid W via a port 13a through which a tube is inserted into the culture vessel 13.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】多種多様な培養容器に適応でき、使用する培養容器に関わらず培養液中の細胞を安定して観察する。【解決手段】培養容器１３内において培養液Ｗ中に浮遊している細胞Ｓに照射する照明光を発生する照明部と、照明部により照明光が照射された細胞Ｓからの観察光を結像させる結像光学系と、結像光学系により結像された観察光を受光する撮像部と、照明部、結像光学系および撮像部を収容する筐体９とを備え、筐体９が、培養容器１３にチューブを挿入するためのポート１３ａを経由して培養液Ｗ中に挿入可能な細長い筒状の形態を有する観察装置１を提供する。【選択図】図１
