To provide a liquid immersion microscope device enabling nondestructive
liquid immersion observation of a substrate without deteriorating quality
of the substrate. To attain this, a liquid immersion microscope device of
the present invention includes a supporting unit supporting a substrate
as an observation target, an objective lens of a liquid immersion type, a
first supplying unit supplying ultrapure water as a liquid for
observation to a gap between a tip of the objective lens and the
substrate, a first draining unit draining the liquid for observation
after observation of the substrate, a second supplying unit supplying a
liquid for cleaning, which is different from the liquid for observation
drained by the first draining unit, to an area, of the substrate, that
has been in contact with the liquid for observation, and a second
draining unit draining the liquid for cleaning after the substrate is
cleaned.
