    摘要: An ejection inspection part of a substrate processing apparatus includes a light emitting part and an imaging part. The light emitting part emits light along a predetermined light existing plane to irradiate a processing liquid ejected from outlets of an ejection head with the light. The imaging part captures an image of the processing liquid passing through planar light emitted from the light emitting part to acquire an inspection image including bright dots. In the ejection inspection part, a determination frame setting part sets normal ejection determination frames corresponding to the outlets in the inspection image. The determination part acquires existence information indicating whether or not a bright dot exists in each normal ejection determination frame and uses the existence information to determine the quality of the ejection operation of the outlet corresponding to the normal ejection determination frame. It is thus possible to individually and accurately determine the quality of the ejection operations of the outlets.

    摘要: A substrate treatment method includes a rinsing step of supplying a rinse liquid to a front surface of a substrate while rotating the substrate at a first rotation speed, a liquid mixture film forming step of forming a liquid film of a liquid mixture of water and an organic solvent having a smaller surface tension than the water on the front surface after the rinsing step by supplying the water and the organic solvent to the front surface while reducing the rotation speed of the substrate from the first rotation speed to a second rotation speed lower than the first rotation speed, and an organic solvent replacing step of replacing the liquid mixture supplied to the front surface with the organic solvent after the liquid mixture film forming step by supplying the organic solvent to the front surface.

    摘要: A culture quality evaluation method comprises: a first step of culturing a pluripotent stem cell under a predetermined culture condition and creating a sample; a second step of imaging a proliferated cell colony in the sample and accordingly capturing an original image; a third step of dividing the original image into smaller images of a predetermined size and calculating standard deviations of pixel values of pixels of the smaller images; and a fourth step of judging whether the sample is an acceptable sample based upon a ratio of a number of the smaller images whose values of the standard deviations are within a predetermined range to a total number of the smaller images.

    摘要: A substrate processing apparatus includes a substrate holding part, a substrate rotating mechanism, and a chamber. The substrate rotating mechanism incudes an annular rotor part disposed in an internal space of the chamber and a stator part disposed around the rotor part outside the chamber. The substrate holding part is attached to the rotor part in the internal space of the chamber. In the substrate rotating mechanism, a rotating force is generated about a central axis between the stator part and the rotor part. The rotor part is thereby rotated about the central axis, being in a floating state, together with a substrate and the substrate holding part. In the substrate processing apparatus, the substrate can be easily rotated in the internal space having excellent sealability. As a result, it is possible to easily perform single-substrate processing in a sealed internal space.
