    Abstract: Provided are a robust and high throughput method for identifying a target cell and a target cell identification device. The method for identifying a target cell includes an image acquisition step of irradiating a specimen with a plurality of light rays having different wavelengths and acquiring a plurality of phase difference images of the specimen, a selection step of selecting a plurality of target cell candidates from the specimen based on a difference in absorption coefficients with respect to the plurality of light rays having different wavelengths, a brightness ratio acquisition step of acquiring brightness ratios between a central part and a peripheral part of each target cell candidate based on the plurality of phase difference images, and a sorting step of sorting a target cell and a non-target cell from the plurality of target cell candidates based on the brightness ratios.

    Abstract: An observation device includes: a stage on which a vessel in which a subject is stored is installed; an image-forming optical system that includes an objective lens forming an image of the subject stored in the vessel; a scan control unit that moves the stage with respect to the image-forming optical system to scan each observation position in the vessel by the image-forming optical system; and an acceleration-determination-information acquisition unit that acquires at least one piece of information among information about the subject, information about the vessel, information about an observation method, or information about an observation condition. The scan control unit controls an acceleration of the stage on the basis of the at least one piece of information.

    Abstract: A cell observation apparatus includes an image formation optical system control unit 51 which sets an initial scanning range of the focal position based on information relating to a thickness of a cell, forms an image of the cell at each of a plurality of focal positions within a set initial scanning range, subsequently acquires an image captured by an imaging unit 40 for each of the plurality of focal positions, estimates the thickness of the cell based on the image, updates the initial scanning range of the focal position based on the estimated thickness of the cell, and forms an image of the cell at each of a plurality of focal positions within the updated scanning range.

    Abstract: By moving at least one of a culture container having a plurality of wells or an imaging optical system that forms an image of an observation target in each of the wells, an observation position in the culture container is scanned to observe the observation target. In a case where an auto-focus control for each observation position is performed, a start timing of the auto-focus control for each observation position is switched on the basis of a boundary portion between the adjacent wells in a scanning direction of the observation position.

    Abstract: There are provided a microscope apparatus, an observation method, and a microscope apparatus-control program that can more efficiently perform auto-focus control and can shorten an imaging time in a case where a culture vessel is to be scanned by an image forming optical system and the auto-focus control is to be performed at each observation position. Focus information of a culture vessel is detected by a first displacement sensor and a second displacement sensor while a stage is moved to a scanning measurement position from an initial set position, and an auto-focus control unit performs auto-focus control at every observation position on the basis of the focus information in a case where the stage has been moved to the scanning measurement position.
