Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit that images, in a time series order, each of a first biological sample having undergone a first process and a second biological sample which has undergone a second process and is of the same type as the type of the first biological sample, and an imaging interval setting portion that acquires a first image obtained by imaging the first biological sample, and a second image obtained by imaging the second biological sample at the same timing as a timing of the first biological sample, and sets an imaging interval of the first and the second biological sample on the basis of a difference between feature data of the first image and feature data of the second image or a change amount of the difference, in which the imaging unit images the first and the second biological sample by using the imaging interval.
