ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus comprises a dye amount distribution obtaining section configured to obtain a distribution of dye amounts from a sample colored with a dye. The apparatus further comprises a classification section configured to classify a point on the sample in accordance with a dye amount at a corresponding position on the distribution obtained by the dye amount distribution obtaining section.
