An image processing method includes: generating two images by performing two image enhancement processes for a microscopic image; and generating a corrected image obtained by compositing the two images, wherein the generating the two images includes generating a high-frequency enhanced image in which high-frequency components of the microscopic image are enhanced relative to low-frequency components of the microscopic image that have a lower frequency than the high-frequency components, and generating a microstructure enhanced image in which a microstructure in an observation sample included in the microscopic image is enhanced.
