Abstract

An imaging system includes: an imaging apparatus that includes an image sensor and acquires a captured image; an optical system that includes a first objective and forms, within the image sensor, an optical image of a visual-field region that is a region within an object surface that corresponds to the objective field number (OFN) of the first objective; a motorized stage; and a control apparatus that constructs a first wide region image by piecing together a plurality of constituent images included in a plurality of captured images acquired by controlling the motorized stage and the imaging apparatus, the first wide region image being an image of a region wider than the visual-field region. Each of the plurality of constituent images is a portion of each of the plurality of captured images and is also at least a portion of each of images of a plurality of visual-field regions.
