Patent ID: 7954069

Claim:
A microscopic-measurement apparatus capable of displaying, on a display device, an enlarged image of a particular part of a specimen placed on a movable stage and providing spectroscopic information of a desired portion, the microscopic-measurement apparatus comprising: observation-image display means for displaying an enlarged image of a specific part of the specimen on the display device; thumbnail-image display means for acquiring the enlarged image of the specific part as a thumbnail image when the enlarged image is specified and displaying the thumbnail image together with the enlarged image on the display device, said thumbnail-images indicating the specific parts where spectroscopic information will be obtained later; thumbnail-coordinate storage means for storing coordinate information of the specific part, where the thumbnail image is acquired, in association with the thumbnail image; thumbnail jump display means for causing the observation-image display means to display an enlarged image of the position of the thumbnail image by specifying the thumbnail image; target-mark display means for displaying a target mark on the enlarged image displayed by the observation-image display means, the target mark being capable of being moved relative to the enlarged image; optical-information acquisition position storage means for storing coordinates of the current target mark display position in response to an optical-information acquisition position instruction; and optical-information acquisition means for acquiring optical spectroscopic information by moving the movable stage to the optical-information acquisition position in response to an optical-information acquisition instruction.
