Information processing device to display sample image and comparative sample image of mode specified by a user side by side

A control method, the method comprising:

• storing, for each of a plurality of imaging modes or image processing modes, a comparative imaging mode different from the imaging mode or a comparative image processing mode different from the image processing mode, a sample image being an image of a sample medium imaged with the imaging mode or an image of the sample medium acquired by executing an image processing of the image processing mode on an image of the sample medium, and a comparative sample image being an image of the sample medium imaged with the comparative imaging mode or an image of the sample medium acquired by executing an image processing of the comparative image processing mode on the image of the sample medium in a storage in advance;
• and
• displaying a sample image and a comparative sample image of an imaging mode or an image processing mode specified by a user side by side on a display, wherein
• only one mode is set as the comparative imaging mode or the comparative image processing mode for the each of the plurality of imaging modes or image processing modes, and wherein
• the sample image and the comparative sample image of the imaging mode or the image processing mode specified by the user, displayed in the display, are stored before accepting specification of the imaging mode or the image processing mode by the user.

A computer-readable, non-transitory medium storing executable instructions, the executable instructions comprising:

• storing, for each of a plurality of imaging modes or image processing modes, a comparative imaging mode different from the imaging mode or a comparative image processing mode different from the image processing mode, a sample image being an image of a sample medium imaged with the imaging mode or an image of the sample medium acquired by executing an image processing of the image processing mode on an image of the sample medium, and a comparative sample image being an image of the sample medium imaged with the comparative imaging mode or an image of the sample medium acquired by executing an image processing of the comparative image processing mode on the image of the sample medium in a storage in advance;
• displaying a sample image and a comparative sample image of an imaging mode or an image processing mode specified by a user side by side on a display, wherein
• only one mode is set as the comparative imaging mode or the comparative image processing mode for the each of the plurality of imaging modes or image processing modes, and wherein
• the sample image and the comparative sample image of the imaging mode or the image processing mode specified by the user, displayed in the display, are stored before accepting specification of the imaging mode or the image processing mode by the user.
