<p>A television camera (15) picks up an image of an organism (1) and a probe (7) brought into contact with the surface of the organism (1). An image of a marker attached to the probe (7) picked up is isolated from the full image by a probe position signal isolation unit (21). Marker position information is acquired by a position acquiring unit (41). A marker trace signal (45) is generated by a trace signal generation unit (43). The sensing signal detected by the probe (7) generates a hardness signal (51) via a hardness calculation unit (47) and a hardness signal generation unit (49). In an overlap unit (23), the marker trace signal (45) and the hardness signal (51) are overlapped with a full screen signal (35), so that the organism image is overlapped with the hardness information image correlated with the probe current position and movement trace and they are displayed on a display (25).</p> |
