Claim:
1. A microscope system that classifies a plurality of observed lights produced from a specimen into a plurality of groups and that sequentially performs image capturing of the plurality of groups using a microscope, the microscope system comprising: a plurality of photodetectors that are provided in the microscope to capture the observed lights; a capture-condition setting section that allows a user to set an image-capturing order for the plurality of groups and the photodetectors to be used for image-capturing of the observed lights; and a control section that controls the microscope to perform image capturing of the observed lights according to contents set in the capture-condition setting section, wherein the capture-condition setting section has a table in which one axis of a vertical axis and a horizontal axis indicates the groups, the other axis of the vertical axis and the horizontal axis indicates the photodetectors, and in which a plurality of cells that are each associated with one of the groups and one of the photodetectors are arrayed in a matrix; wherein each of the cells arrayed in the matrix is configured such that a captured item representing an image capturing operation is registerable therein; and wherein with respect to each cell in the table that is associated with one of the groups and one of the photodetectors, the capture-condition setting section (i) sets the photodetector associated with the cell to a selected state to execute image capturing with the photodetector when the cell is in a selected state, the selected state being a state in which a captured item is registered in the cell, and (ii) sets the photodetector associated with the cell to a non-selected state so as not to execute image capturing when the cell is in a non-selected state, the non-selected state being a state in which no captured item is registered in the cell.
