摘要:
A biorelated substance examination apparatus includes a reaction stage which supports a reaction vessel which contains the solid support and promotes a reaction of the solid-state phase, and a microscope which optically observes the solid support. The reaction stage includes a fluid transfer mechanism which transfers a fluid with respect to the reaction vessel and a temperature adjusting mechanism which adjusts a temperature of the solid support in the reaction vessel.

摘要:
First, image capturing is performed in the exposure time of ExpStart. If the maximum intensity value of all the pixels of an image is smaller than TransStart, the exposure time is increased and the image capturing is performed again. After that, increase in the exposure time and the image capturing are repeatedly performed until the maximum intensity value of all the pixels of the captured optical image becomes equal to or greater than TransStart. When the maximum intensity value becomes equal to or greater than TransStart, image data is transferred to a computer to be recorded on the hard disk, and the number of images recorded is counted. Subsequently, the increase in the exposure time, the image capturing, transfer and record of the image data, and count of the number of images recorded are repeatedly performed. The image capturing is finished when the minimum intensity value in an area of the fluorescent image that is smaller than the entire area becomes larger than TransEnd, the number of images recorded becomes larger than TransPicts, or the exposure time becomes longer than MaxExpTime.

摘要:
A fluorescent image is obtained by emitting the light with a wavelength which excites a labelling fluorescent substance, a mask is created by a foreign matter area image extracted from an image of foreign matter adhering to the measurement object obtained by emitting light with a wavelength which does not excite the fluorescent substance, and logical multiplication of the mask and the fluorescent image is executed, thereby obtaining a fluorescent image that a foreign matter area is eliminated from the fluorescent image.
