A method for observing stem cells by an observation device 1 comprises, placing stem cells C in a petri dish 11, mounting the petri dish 11 on a waveguide 21 via water 13, emitting illumination light L1 into the waveguide 21 and emitting the illumination light L1 to the stem cells C in the petri dish 11 via the water 13, and detecting scattered light L2, the scattered light L2 being the illumination light L1 emitted to the stem cells C that is scattered by the stem cells C and has passed through the waveguide 21. Then, in the light image detected by means of the scattered light L2, a region that is markedly darker than other regions is identified as being in the state tending toward differentiation.
摘要:
A projection inspector which projects the image of an object being measured onto a screen for a visual inspection. The inspector fully exhibits high degree of measuring function even at the time of inspecting an object having a surface color and shape that can be difficulty imaged, and projects the object's image onto the screen to inspect it, and further enables it to be more correctly observed or inspected. The projection inspector is provided with a projection lens mount that is movable two-dimensionally and mounts a projection lens that constitutes a portion of the projection optical system over a plate on which the object to be measured is placed, and the object's image is projected onto the screen via the projection optical system as it is irradiated with the light of illumination, wherein the projection inspector further comprises a microscope lens-barrel portion (41) including an ocular optical system and mounted on a main body of the projection inspecting machine, and with optical switch means (46).

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for the automated imaging and evaluation of human embryos, oocytes, or pluripotent cells are described. An apparatus and method for automated dish detection and well occupancy determination are described. In addition, a multi-well culture dish and an illumination assembly for bimodal imaging are described. These inventions find use at least in identifying or in facilitating identification of embryos and oocytes in vitro that are most useful in treating infertility in humans.
