Abstract
An image processing device inputs a bright field linage of a tissue slice in which a cell nucleus is stained and a fluorescent image of the tissue slice in which a specific biological substance is stained with a fluorescent staining reagent (S), extracts a cell nucleus from the image of the cell nucleus (S), extracts a fluorescent bright point from the fluorescent image (S), specifies a cell nucleus to which the fluorescent bright point is assigned on the basis of the distance between the cell nucleus and the fluorescent bright point, and assigns the fluorescent bright point with the cell nucleus (S).
