Patent ID: 8259171

Claim:
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: one of a plurality of hole identifying information transmitted from the microscope for identifying one of a plurality of holes of a revolver holding a corresponding plurality of objective lens with different magnification values, ee the revolver is revolved to arrange one of the plurality of holes with an objective lens in an optical path of the microscope and a hole identifying information is associated with the magnification value of the optical lens held by the hole identified by the hole identifying information, and a magnification value of an objective lens, the objective lens being one of a plurality of objective lens with different magnification values that is arranged in the optical path of the microscope; 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.
