An image creating apparatus capable of creating cell images allowing reliable determination of cell structures in a cell is provided. This image creating apparatus comprises an image pickup portion picking up a plurality of images of a cell on different focal positions and an image synthesizing portion classifying the plurality of images picked up by the image pickup portion into a plurality of depth ranges as to the focal direction and synthesizing the plurality of images belonging to the respective ones of the plurality of depth ranges every plurality of depth ranges thereby creating focus-synthesized images in focus over corresponding depth ranges every plurality of depth ranges.

A data classification supporting method capable of easily discriminating a cell to which unknown data belongs and cells similar to the unknown data from each other is obtained. This classification compares cell vector data of each cell with the unknown data, decides a cell having cell vector data closest to the unknown data and cells having cell vector data secondly to nthly close to the unknown data as a minimum cell and similar cells respectively and displays a minimum cell mark and similar cell marks indicating the minimum cell and the similar cells respectively on a classification map.
