Microscope apparatus comprising an image accumulation unit for combining images captured with different resolutions and with different observation methods

摘要

A microscope apparatus includes a capture unit (3) for capturing a microscopic image of a specimen in a predetermined microscopy, a capture control unit (2, 4, 33) controlling the capture unit (3) and capturing a microscopic image about the same specimen with a plurality of predetermined resolutions, and a microscopy switch unit (2, 31) switching the microscopy. With the configuration, the capture control unit (2, 4, 33) at least includes a first capture control unit allowing the capture unit (3) to capture the specimen with a first resolution controlled in advance, a definition unit defining a plurality of small sections obtained by dividing a first microscopic image captured by the capture unit (3) under control of the first capture control unit; and a second capture control unit allowing the capture unit (3) to capture a portion corresponding to the small section of the specimen with a predetermined second resolution as a resolution higher than the first resolution.
