The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a microscope that prevents a dew condensation on an objective lens and allows obtaining a good microscopic image, and a method of preventing a dew condensation on an objective lens.A microscope includes an objective lens having a heater 22 in a cell incubator 3 having a high humidity space. The high humidity space is maintained at 90% to 100% of relative humidity and controlled to be at a predetermined gas temperature. A cultured cell 12 in the cell incubator 3 is observed via the objective lens 1, and the heater 22 is controlled to make the temperature of the objective lens 1 higher than the gas temperature of the high humidity space.
