Image sensing apparatus for microscope
First Claim
1. An image sensing apparatus for a microscope, comprising:
- an image sensing unit for sensing an observation image obtained by a microscope and obtaining the observation image;
a microscopy technique determination unit for detecting a microscopy technique in the microscope;
a luminance distribution determination unit for calculating a luminance distribution of the observation image based on the microscopy technique detected by said microscopy technique determination unit, and determining from the luminance distribution a region where tone is to be corrected in the observation image; and
a tone adjustment unit for correcting tone in accordance with a tone correction amount arbitrarily set for the region of the observation image determined by said luminance distribution determination unit;
wherein when a fluorescent observation state is detected by the microscopy determination unit;
