Abstract
A apparatus for obtaining an image of a blood cell is described, a representative one of which includes image obtainer for obtaining an image of a predetermined blood cell in a blood sample smeared on a sample holder; an analysis result obtainer for obtaining an analysis result of the blood sample; and a controller for controlling the image obtainer such that the image obtainer obtains the image under a first imaging condition when the analysis result does not indicate a presence of a predetermined anomalous cell, and obtains the image under a second imaging condition to be different from the first imaging condition when the analysis result indicates the presence of the predetermined anomalous cell.
