Abstract
An observation apparatus includes an imaging unit, a driving mechanism, an operation circuit and a control circuit. The imaging unit generates image data by imaging a target object. The driving mechanism moves the imaging unit to change an imaging position of the target object. The operation circuit calculates information on imaging conditions of the imaging unit based on an auxiliary information calculation image, which is image data of auxiliary information calculation light. The control circuit controls the imaging performed by the imaging unit, using the information on the imaging conditions.
