Observation apparatus, observation program, and observation method

An observation program causing a computer to function as:

• a detection unit to detect an observation target object in an observed sample by using an absorption spectrum or a Raman spectrum in an ultraviolet, visible, or infrared area, the absorption spectrum or the Raman spectrum being acquired by a spectroscopic unit via a microscope optical system;
• and
• a control unit to cause an imaging unit to capture an image of the observation target object detected by the detection unit.

An observation method, comprising:

• detecting, by a detection unit, an observation target object in an observed sample by using an absorption spectrum or a Raman spectrum in an ultraviolet, visible, or infrared area, the absorption spectrum or the Raman spectrum being acquired by a spectroscopic unit via a microscope optical system;
• and
• causing, by a control unit, an imaging unit to capture an image of the observation target object detected by the detection unit.
