Abstract
A microscope system includes a laser light source, a plurality of laser microscopes, and an optical path switching unit that is provided between the laser light source and the laser microscopes and switches a supply destination of a laser beam among the plurality of laser microscopes by changing a beam splitter to be arranged on an incident optical axis. Each of the laser microscopes includes an optical axis adjustment unit that adjusts an optical axis of the laser beam, and a control unit that controls the optical axis adjustment unit based on identification information about the beam splitter arranged on the incident optical axis.
