Abstract: A microscope system comprises a microscope body, an image sensor mounted on the microscope body, and a stage that moves in an X-axis direction and a Y-axis direction, and places a slide as an observation object. The stage includes a mark used to indicate a stage reference position. The microscope system obtains positions of the stage in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, and detects the stage reference position indicated by a mark provided on the stage and a slide reference position indicated by a mark provided on a slide placed on the stage. The microscope system manages the position of the stage by coordinates based on the slide reference position if the slide reference position is detected, and manages the position of the stage by coordinates based on the stage reference position if the slide reference position is not detected.

Abstract: An image acquisition unit (2020) acquires an analysis image. The analysis image is an image in which a plurality of cell nuclei in a lesion of a target person are captured. A feature-value calculation unit (2040) calculates the feature-value relating to the cell nuclei from the analysis image. An evaluation function acquisition unit (2060) acquires an evaluation function from an evaluation function storage unit (10). The evaluation function is a function with which prediction information is calculated based on the feature-value. The prediction information generation unit (2080) generates prediction information relating to a target person based on a feature-value, which has been calculated from an analysis image, and an evaluation function which has been acquired by the evaluation function acquisition unit (2060). The prediction information is information indicating a prediction of a prognosis of a disease of the target person or a prediction of malignancy of a disease of the target person.
