Abstract
A follow-up fixed focus system includes a fixed focus device, and the second end of the fixed focus device is in contact with a sample plate; when the sample plate has a small protrusion, the second end of the fixed focus device is pushed by the protrusion of the sample plate. When the sample plate has a small depression, the second end of the fixed focus device is in contact with the sample plate all the time under the action of self gravity of an observation device, so that the imaging distance between an object lens and the sample plate is kept unchanged.
