Abstract: A high tone image is saved in a versatile image file format to enhance usability. There are provided an imaging unit that images an original image having a predetermined dynamic range, which is a ratio between minimum luminance and maximum luminance; a synthesized image generating part that generates a synthesized image data that is higher in tone than a tone width of the original image by synthesizing a plurality of original images imaged under different imaging conditions at the same observation position; a display unit that displays the images imaged by the imaging unit; a tone conversion part that converts the synthesized image data generated by the synthesized image generating part to low tone image data having a tone width capable of being displayed on the display unit; and a tone data saving part that generates a high tone data-attached display file including a high tone image region for saving the synthesized image data serving as a basis as an image file for saving the low tone image data.

Abstract: The magnifying observation apparatus includes an imaging section for photographing an observation image, a display for displaying the observation image based on an image signal acquired with the imaging section, and a controller. The controller performs signal processing on an image signal and detects edge information on an edge contained in the observation image. The controller also extracts an edge section on the periphery of the points indicated with a point indication section and performs predetermined image processing on the edge section extracted. The display displays the resulting edge section over the observation image.

Abstract: In a magnifying observation apparatus, simple observation conditions are set for simply acquiring a plurality of observation images. A plurality of simple observation images are acquired per the plurality of simple observation conditions set, and displayed on a simple observation image display section. A desired simple observation image is selected from among the plurality of simple observation images displayed on the simple observation image display section. The observation conditions are further set as required based on the simple observation conditions set to the simple observation image selected. An observation image acquired based on the observation conditions set is displayed.
