  • Microscope-image processing apparatus, microscope-image processing method, and microscope-image processing program
    Patent number: 10386624
    Abstract: A microscope-image processing apparatus including: a processor including hardware, wherein the processor is configured to implement: a captured-region-image generating portion configured to generate a captured-region image by pasting together a plurality of partial images acquired by using a microscope while changing a viewing field with respect to a sample; an uncaptured-region-color setting portion configured to set pixel values of an uncaptured region based on pixel values of rows of pixels at at least one side of the partial images that are positioned at edge portions of the captured-region image generated by the captured-region-image generating portion; and an image combining portion configured to generate a combined image by combining the captured-region image generated by the captured-region-image generating portion and an uncaptured-region image that has the pixel values set by the uncaptured-region-color setting portion.
