PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a desired composite image, while eliminating the need for the adjustment of an image as a whole and obtaining overlap rate desired by a user. SOLUTION: In an image generation method, a first partial image obtained by imaging a target to be imaged which is observed by a microscope 50, with a prescribed resolution, is acquired. The overlap rate between the first partial image and a second partial image to be composited is determined, on the basis of feature points extracted from the first partial image. The first partial image and the second partial image acquired by moving a stage 4 of the microscope 50 on the basis of the determined overlap rate are composited, and a resulting intermediate image is acquired.
