Abstract
A fluorescence observation apparatus including a light source configured to irradiate an object with white light and excitation light; and a processor comprising hardware, wherein the processor is configured to implement: a fluorescence-image generating unit and a white-light-image generating unit configured to generate a fluorescence image Gand a color white-light image, respectively; a condition setting unit configured to set weights individually for multiple color component images constituting the white-light image; and a combining unit configured to combine at least one color component image to which the fluorescence image has been added and the other color component images while applying the weights, and the condition setting unit configured to set the weights based on the color component images such that the weight for the color component image to which the fluorescence image is added is greater than the weights for the other color component images.
