Abstract:
An image annotation support system generates classification information that classifies a plurality of target regions constituting a target image, based on a feature represented in the target image, the target image being an image serving as a candidate to be annotated, and arranges, on a screen of a display device, a classified image that visualizes the classification information, in a manner capable of being compared with the target image.
Abstract:
A cell culturing device includes: a sensor that measures a pH of a medium in which cells are being cultured; and one or more processors including hardware. The one or more processors are configured to: measure an elapsed time since the cells were seeded in the medium; determine whether the measured pH is lower than a prescribed threshold and whether the measured elapsed time has passed a prescribed time; and issue an instruction for medium replacement in response to determining that the pH is lower than the prescribed threshold or in response to determining that the elapsed time has passed the prescribed time.
Abstract:
A cell observation system includes an imaging element that acquires images of the inside of a culture container in which cells are cultured, the imaging element acquiring the images over time; a computer configured to: quantitatively analyze a culture state of the cells cultured in the culture container on the basis of each of the images acquired by the imaging element; and statistically analyze the quantitatively analyzed data; and a display that displays statistical analysis results in the culture container within a plurality of subculture periods obtained by the computer in a manner allowing comparison of the statistical analysis results.
Abstract:
An observation device includes an illuminating optical system that emits illuminating light obliquely upward from below a sample; and an objective optical system that images transmitted light, which is the illuminating light emitted from the illuminating optical system, reflected above the sample, and passed through the sample, the objective optical system imaging the transmitted light below the sample and via a different path from that of the illuminating optical system. The illuminating optical system includes a light source, a mask that restricts light, which is emitted from the light source, to a particular emission region, and a collimating optical system that converts the light restricted by the mask into substantially parallel light, and the illuminating optical system is arranged so that when the region is projected onto a pupil plane of the objective optical system, a projected image of the region partially overlaps a peripheral portion of the pupil.
Abstract:
While one beam is being branched into a plurality of beams with different optical path lengths, the beams can be converged on the same position in the optical-axis direction with a simple structure even when relative angles between the beams differ. Provided is a beam splitter apparatus including at least one beam splitter that branches the input pulsed beam into two; at least two light-guide members with different optical path lengths that propagate the pulsed beams branching off via the beam splitter; and a reflection optical system that endows a plurality of pulsed beams emitted from exit ends of the plurality of light-guide members with a relative angle and that converges the plurality of pulsed beams on the same position.
Abstract:
A beam splitter apparatus including demultiplexing portions that split an input pulsed light beam into a plurality of optical paths; relay optical systems that individually relay the pulsed light beams in the plurality of optical paths; a multiplexing portion that multiplexes the plurality of pulsed light beams that have been relayed through the optical paths; and delaying portions and divergence-angle setting portions that respectively give the pulsed light beams, which are individually guided through the plurality of optical paths, relative time delays that are large enough to separate the signal lights and divergence angles that are different from each other.
Abstract:
An observation device includes: a housing having, in a top surface, a glass window on which a vessel accommodating samples is placed and through which illumination light is transmitted; and an image acquisition unit accommodated in the housing and configured to capture transmitted light obtained after illumination light is transmitted through the samples from above, is transmitted through the glass window, and enters the housing.
Abstract:
It is possible to observe imaging subjects, such as cells or the like, without causing an increase in the apparatus size. Provided is an observation apparatus including: a flat-plate-like stage formed of an optically transparent material on which a container accommodating a sample is placed; a deflecting member that is disposed below the stage and that deflects light coming from the sample on the stage into a substantially horizontal direction; an objective lens that collects the light deflected by the deflecting member; and an image-acquisition device that captures the light collected by the objective lens.
Abstract:
A surgical treatment device is provided with: an action portion; a light emitting part that radiates laser light onto living tissue; a light receiving part that receives scattered light of the laser light scattered by the living tissue; a light detection unit that detects the intensity of the scattered light received by the light receiving part; a frequency analysis unit that obtains time-series data indicating a temporal change in the intensity of the scattered light detected by the light detection unit, to extract an amount of frequency spectrum shift of the scattered light, included in the time-series data; and a determination unit that determines a feature of a blood vessel in the living tissue on the basis of the amount of frequency spectrum shift.
Abstract:
Provided is an optical scanning apparatus including: a deflector capable of deflecting an entering beam while switching an advancing direction thereof among a plurality of direction at a predetermined switching timing; a mirror array including a plurality of angle setting mirrors that are placed at angles different from one another on respective optical paths of the beams deflected by the deflector, each of the angle setting mirrors reflecting the beam while giving thereto a relative angle on the same plane for each optical path, and gathering the beam on the same point; and a first scanner that is provided so as to be swingable about an axial line perpendicular to the plane in synchronization with the switching timing, the first scanner reflecting each beam that is caused by the mirror array to enter the same point from a different direction and applying for scanning the beam along the same trajectory.
