Abstract
A microscope includes a driving controller, a position detector, an image capturing device, an image generator, a first correction amount detector, a second correction amount detector, and a decision device for correction amount. The driving controller changes an image pickup area of a sample. The position detector detects position information of the driving controller. The image capturing device captures frame images in the image pickup area. The first and second correction amount detectors respectively detect first and second correction amounts from the frame images. The decision device for correction amount compares a prescribed value and the first correction amount, and thereby selects one of the first correction amount and the second correction amount. The image generator pastes the frame images together on the basis of the first or second correction amount selected by the decision device for correction amount, and thereby assembles a pasted-together image.
