Patent attributes
The microscopic image capture apparatus includes: a slide glass transfer unit 17 transfers a slide glass 10 from a first slide glass storage unit 16 to a space under a microscope objective lens 11; a wide field-of-view image capture unit 60 captures the entire image of wide field-of-view of the slide glass 10 in synchronization with the transfer of the slide glass 10 by the slide glass transfer unit 17; a microscopic image capture unit 14 captures a microscopic image of the sample S on the slide glass 10 whose entire image of wide field-of-view has been captured by the wide field-of-view image capture unit 60; and a slide glass storage unit 18 stores the slide glass 10 whose sample S has been captured by the microscopic image capture unit 14 from the observation position of the microscope 11 into the second slide glass tray unit 19.
