Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an imager that is electrically connected to an image sensor disposed at a position where light that has passed through a sample slice is incident on the image sensor, and an illumination system that emits illumination light successively in different illumination directions relative to a sample slice to illuminate the sample slice with the illumination light and that emits a first light having a peak in a first wavelength range and a second light having a peak in a second wavelength range. The image forming apparatus obtains a plurality of first-color images with the image sensor while the sample slice is being illuminated with the first light serving as the illumination light successively in the different illumination directions. The image forming apparatus obtains at least one second-color image with the image sensor while the sample slice is being illuminated with the second light in at least one of the different illumination directions. The image forming apparatus generates a high-resolution image on the basis of the plurality of first-color images and the at least one second-color image.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a divider that generates a plurality pieces of third image information on the basis of a plurality of pieces of first image information and a plurality of pieces of second image information, a determiner that determines, on the basis of information regarding a sample, a filter to be used for the plurality of pieces of third image information, and a processor that deconvolutes each of the plurality of pieces of third image information using the determined filter. An image sensor that has received first resulting light emitted from a sample that has received first light emitted from a first angle outputs the plurality of pieces of first image information. The image sensor that has received second resulting light emitted from the sample that has received second light emitted from a second angle outputs the plurality of pieces of second image information.
