Claim One:
1. A microscope apparatus, comprising: a capture unit capturing a microscopic image of a specimen in a predetermined microscopy; a capture control unit controlling the capture unit and capturing a microscopic image about the same specimen with a plurality of predetermined resolutions; and a microscopy switch unit switching the microscopy, wherein the capture control unit comprises: a first capture control unit allowing the capture unit to capture the specimen with a first resolution controlled in advance; a definition unit defining a plurality of small sections obtained by dividing a first microscopic image captured by the capture unit under control of the first capture control unit; a second capture control unit allowing the capture unit to capture a portion corresponding to the small section of the specimen with a predetermined second resolution as a resolution higher than the first resolution; an image combination unit generating a second microscopic image with the second resolution for the specimen by combining the microscopic images for the respective small sections captured by the capture unit under control of the second capture control unit; and an image accumulation unit accumulating the combined microscopic images captured in plural microscopies for each specimen.
