1. A magnification observation apparatus capable of displaying an image obtained by imaging a sample to be imaged according to a set imaging condition, the magnification observation apparatus comprising:

  • an imaging condition setting part that sets at least an exposure time as the imaging condition when imaging an original image in an imaging unit;

    the imaging unit that images the original image having a predetermined dynamic range, which is a ratio between minimum luminance and maximum luminance, according to the imaging condition set in the imaging condition setting part with respect to an observation position of the sample;

    a synthesized image generating part that generates synthesized image data that is higher in tone than a tone width of the original image by synthesizing a plurality of original images imaged under different imaging conditions at the same observation position;

    a display unit that displays the images imaged by the imaging unit;

    a tone conversion part that converts the synthesized image data generated in the synthesized image generating part to low tone image data having a tone width capable of being displayed on the display unit; and

    a tone data saving part that generates high tone data-attached display file including a high tone image region for saving the synthesized image data serving as a basis as an image file for saving the low tone image data.
