Abstract:
Coordinates of a first region extraction window, a first sample stage coordinate, a second sample stage coordinate, and a second region extraction window, including images of one sample stage and an observation target tissues of a sample when the one sample stage is respectively positioned on two microscopes are respectively obtained. Based on difference between the first sample stage coordinate and the second sample stage coordinate, the second sample stage coordinate is corrected. Based on the obtained corrected second sample stage coordinate, the second positioning unit is moved from the second non-observation position to the second observation position where the second region extraction window is located at a position corresponding to the coordinate position of the first region extraction window.

Claim (Index 1):
A correlation microscope comprising:\n a first microscope; a second microscope having an optical axis non coaxial with the first microscope; a conveying apparatus that conveys a sample stage holding a sample from the first microscope to the second microscope in a state where the sample stage is positioned and held by a sample stage positioning and holding unit; a first positioning apparatus that is disposed in the first microscope, that has a first positioning unit movable between at least a first observation position and a first non-observation position and positioning and holding the sample stage, and that delivers the sample stage between the first positioning unit and the sample stage positioning and holding unit of the conveying apparatus when the first positioning unit is located at the first non-observation position; a first image acquisition unit that obtains an image of the sample stage positioned by the first positioning unit when the first positioning unit is located at each of the first observation position and the first non-observation position and that obtains an image of a first region extraction window including an observation target tissue of the sample on the sample stage; a first coordinate acquisition unit that obtains a coordinate position of a first sample stage coordinate of the sample stage positioned by the first positioning unit based on the image obtained by the first image acquisition unit when the first positioning unit is located at the first non-observation position; a first extraction window coordinate acquisition unit that obtains a coordinate position of the first region extraction window in the first sample stage coordinate based on the image of the first region extraction window obtained by the first image acquisition unit when the first positioning unit is located at the first non-observation position and the coordinate position of the first sample stage coordinate of the sample stage obtained by the first coordinate acquisition unit; a second positioning apparatus that is disposed in the second microscope, that has a second positioning unit movable between at least a second observation position and a second non-observation position and positioning and holding the sample stage, and that delivers the sample stage between the second positioning unit and the sample stage positioning and holding unit of the conveying apparatus when the second positioning unit is located at the second non-observation position; a second image acquisition unit that obtains an image of the sample stage positioned by the second positioning unit when the second positioning unit is located at each of the second observation position and the second non-observation position and that obtains an image of a second region extraction window corresponding to the first region extraction window of the sample stage; a second coordinate acquisition unit that obtains a coordinate position of a second sample stage coordinate of the sample stage positioned by the second positioning unit based on the image obtained by the second image acquisition unit when the second positioning unit is located at the second non-observation position; and a second extraction window coordinate acquisition unit that obtains a coordinate position of the second region extraction window in the second sample stage coordinate based on the image of the second region extraction window obtained by the second image acquisition unit and the coordinate position of the second sample stage coordinate of the sample stage obtained by the second coordinate acquisition unit when the second positioning unit is located at the second non-observation position, that obtains a difference between the coordinate position of the first sample stage coordinate obtained by the first coordinate acquisition unit and the coordinate position of the second sample stage coordinate obtained by the second coordinate acquisition unit, that corrects the coordinate position of the second sample stage coordinate based on the difference obtained, and that obtains a corrected coordinate position of the second region extraction window corresponding to the first region extraction window, wherein the second positioning apparatus moves the second positioning unit from the second non-observation position to the second observation position where the second region extraction window is located at a position corresponding to the coordinate position of the first region extraction window based on the corrected coordinate position of the second region extraction window obtained by the second extraction window coordinate acquisition unit, and one of the first microscope and the second microscope is an optical microscope, and another microscope is an electron microscope.
