Abstract
An image observation device configured to: generate a reference image on a basis of one or more two-dimensional images of a Z-stack image constituted of two-dimensional images acquired by shifting a focal position; generate, on the generated reference image, a frame having window portions covering different small regions and superimposed on the reference image; allow a user to operate the generated frame; allocate different focal ranges to the respective window portions of the frame; generate, for the respective small regions covered by the respective window portions, omnifocal images by using, among the two-dimensional images in regions corresponding to the respective small regions, the two-dimensional images in the focal ranges allocated to the respective window portions; replace the regions of the reference image in the respective window portions with the respective generated omnifocal images based on the different focal ranges; and display the reference image, the frame, and the omnifocal images.
