We propose a real-time 3D capturing-visualization conversion method of light field microscopy. We implement light field microscopy system using conventional optical microscopy and micro lens array, and visualize 3D information from light field microscopy with integral imaging system. We analyze capturing method of light field and how to convert 3D information from light field microscopy to elemental image with corrected depth information for integral imaging in real-time. Experimental setup and result images are presented to verify our proposed method.
