PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and an image processing program, that are capable of preventing reduction in resolution even when a monochromatic light enters.SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus 1 has an output signal acquiring part 2, a spectral sensitivity deciding part 8, an output signal amplifying part 3, and an image generator 4. The output signal acquiring part 2 is connected to a pixel group having two or more kinds of pixels that output lights passing through color filters with a different transparent wavelength with each other as output signals, and acquires output signals of these pixels. The spectral sensitivity deciding part 8 decides the spectral sensitivity of the two or more kinds of pixels, which corresponds to the incident light incoming to the pixel group. The output signal amplifying part 3 amplifies the output signals of each kind of pixels. The image generator 5 calculates each pixel value of each kind of pixels from the output signals of each kind of pixels, which is amplified by the output signal amplifying part 3, and generates an image.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve focus without accelerating deterioration in color of a fluorescent substance to be marked on a target and without an excessive increase in load on a biometric sample. SOLUTION: Light is radiated to a fluorescent substance being to be marked on an object which is higher in occupancy than the target and being non-excited state to excite the fluorescent substance with respect to a fluorescent substance to be marked on a target of a biometric sample. Then, focus is achieved on a part of the biometric sample by using the image of the part of the biometric sample, the image being formed on an imaging plane. After that, in replacement with the light which excites the fluorescent substance to be marked on the object, irradiation is made with light which excites the fluorescent substance to be marked on the target of the biometric sample, and the image of the part of the biometric sample which is formed on the imaging plane is acquired as a dark visual field image to be recorded.
