Abstract
A whole specimen image generated in the bright view field observation method is displayed, and arbitrary domains are designated. And the fluorescence VS image of each object of interest is generated by acquiring the shape of microscopic image for every small block which is formed by dividing the inside of that object of interest into plurality for every said object of interest, and combining two or more microscopic images generated in the fluorescence observation method. The object of interest is an area where a tumor etc., exist, for example.
Claims13
A microscope system which has a VS image generation means for generating the VS image generated by combining mutually two or more microscopic images obtained by relatively moving an objective lens of a microscope and a specimen along rectangular direction to an optical axis, comprising:
- a first VS image generation and/or storage means for storing said VS image generated in a first observation method, wherein said VS image of said specimen is generated by said VS image generation means in the first observation method;
- an object-of-interest designation means, wherein said VS image by the first observation method is displayed, and one or more arbitrary objects of interest are designated on the displayed image, and coordinate information of the object of interest is stored;
- and
- a second VS image generation and/or storage means, wherein said VS image of said object of interest is stored by said VS image generation means in a second observation method.
A method of generating a VS image in a microscope system for generating the VS image which is generated by combining mutually two or more microscopic images obtained by relatively moving an objective lens of a microscope and a specimen along rectangular directions to an optical axis, wherein a first VS image generated by generating the VS image of the specimen in a first observation method is stored;
- the first VS image is displayed, and one or more arbitrary objects of interest are designated on the displayed image, and coordinate information of the object of interest is stored;
- and then an image of the second object of interest generated by generating the VS image in object of interest in the second observation method is stored.
A program generating VS image, wherein a computer in a microscope system having a VS image generation means for generating the VS image which is generated by combining mutually two or more microscopic images obtained by relatively moving an objective lens of a microscope and a specimen along rectangular directions to an optical axis is constituted so that it may function as the following means;
- a first VS image generation and/or storage means, by which the VS image of the specimen is generated by the VS image generation means, and the first generated this VS image is stored in a first observation method;
- and
- an object-of-interest designation means, by which the first VS image is displayed, and one or more arbitrary objects of interest are designated on the display screen, and the coordinate information of the object of interest is stored;
- and
- a second VS image generation and/or storage means, by which the VS image of the object of interest is generated by the VS image generation means, and the second VS image generated in the second observation method is stored.
