Abstract:
1. An imaging system for a microscope, the imaging system comprising: an imaging unit imaging an optical image from a microscope having hole identifying information transmitter; a display unit displaying the imaged image; a specifying unit setting, when at least a given position on the displayed image is specified by an operation of an user, a measurement target based on the specified position; a measurement and drawing unit performing measurement of the measurement target set by the specifying unit and drawing of the measurement target, as well as making a measurement value obtained by the measurement displayed at a predetermined position on a screen, the measurement and drawing unit calculates, in an image after the change in the magnification, a position corresponding to the specified position in an image before the change in the magnification to reset a measurement target after the change in the magnification and, performs measurement and redrawing of the reset measurement target, and also makes a measurement value obtained by the measurement redisplayed at a predetermined position on the screen; an obtaining unit obtaining: a magnification change determination unit determining whether there has been a change in an observation magnification of the microscope based on the hole identifying information or the magnification value obtained by the obtaining unit; and a control processor outputting when it is determined by the magnification change determination unit that there has been a change in the observation magnification of the microscope after the measurement value is displayed, a message that the measurement value is a value measured before the change in the magnification and does not correspond to an image after the change in the magnification.
