An observing optical system includes an ocular lens for observing said image. The microscope further comprises a magnification selecting unit including a driving mechanism for rotating the revolver, and a magnification selection control circuit for automatically positioning said selected objective to the optical axis of the enlarging optical system. An automatic focus adjusting unit includes a focus detector opposed to the observing optical system for discriminating the enlargedly formed image, and a mount moving device for driving the mount to the position of focus in response to an output signal from the focus detector. A light quantity adjusting unit adjusts the quantity of emitted light from the light source on the basis of a preset light quantity value. A control table automatically actuates the magnification selecting unit, the automatic focus adjusting unit and the light quantity adjusting unit in accordance with predetermined steps in response to a magnification selection signal.
