OBSERVATION DEVICE

摘要

Provided is an observation apparatus (100) comprising a light source (3) that irradiates a subject (X) with illumination light and special light that acts on a specific region of the subject (X); a return-light-image generating portion (61) that generates a return-light image (G1) by capturing return light coming from the subject (X) due to irradiation with the illumination light; a special-light-image generating portion (62) that generates a special-light image (G2) by capturing signal light coming from the subject (X) due to irradiation with the special light; an extraction portion (63) that extracts the specific region from the special-light image (G2); and an enhancement processing portion (64) that performs enhancement processing, which is based on return-light image information, on the return-light image (G1), in a region corresponding to the extracted specific region.
