Abstract

A microscopic-measurement apparatus capable of displaying, on a display device, an enlarged view of a particular part of a specimen placed on a movable stage and providing optical information of a desired portion includes an observation-image display section for displaying an enlarged view of a specific part of the specimen on the display device; a thumbnail-image display section for acquiring the enlarged image of the specific part as a thumbnail image when the enlarged observation image is specified and displaying the thumbnail image together with the enlarged image on the display device; a thumbnail-coordinate storage section for storing coordinate information of the specific part, where the thumbnail image is acquired, in association with the thumbnail image; and a thumbnail jump display section for causing the observation-image display section to display an enlarged image of the position of the thumbnail image by specifying the thumbnail image.
