PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten the time required for search of in-focus object image data. SOLUTION: Subject image data obtained by image pickup of an image pickup device is taken into a focusing processor at each prescribed timing while varying the interval between a stage for placing an object thereon and the image pickup device. The focusing processor searches contrast data showing a maximal value from taken-in subject image data and stores object image data of this contrast data in an image information memory. Object image data of the contrast data showing the maximal value is read out from the image information memory and is displayed on a display part. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
