A microscope system (1) for generating a stitched image by stitching a plurality of component images includes: an image obtainment unit configured to obtain an image of a sample (106); a field-of-view moving unit (114) configured to move a field of view of the image obtainment unit relatively to the sample (106); a recommended area decision unit (140,152) configured to determine, according to an instruction of a user, a recommended area from an entire area, wherein the recommended area is an area to be put into an image as the stitched image, and the entire area is an area of the sample (106) in which the field of view of the image obtainment unit moved by the field-of-view moving unit (114) is movable; and a component area decision unit (140, 153) configured to determine, as a plurality of component areas from which the plurality of component images are obtained, a plurality of areas which are arranged in a form of a grid in the recommended area so that the recommended area determined by the recommended area decision unit (140,152) is filled, the plurality of areas respectively having a same size as the field of view of the image obtainment unit and overlapping at least part of the recommended area. |
