Abstract: A manipulation system includes: a manipulator that operates a microscopic object; a first input unit that generates a first movement command signal for moving the manipulator to a manipulator position corresponding to an input operation position; and a second input unit that generates a second movement command signal for moving the manipulator to a manipulator stored position stored in a storage. When the input operation position of the first input unit is a predetermined input operation position, the manipulator is enabled to be moved by an operation of the first input unit, or the manipulator is enabled to be moved by an operation of the second input unit.

Abstract: A collection pipette that collects a microscopic object includes a first tube part, a second tube part connected to an end of the first tube part, and a third tube part connected to the other end of the first tube part. The longitudinal direction of the third tube part intersects with the longitudinal direction of the first tube part, and is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the second tube part. For example, the length in the longitudinal direction of the third tube part is shorter than the length in the longitudinal direction of the first tube part.

Abstract: Provided are a manipulation system and a driving method of the manipulation system capable of performing manipulation efficiently and suitably while suppressing damage to a minute object at the time of manipulation regardless of the degree of skill and technique of an operator. A sample stage configured such that a minute object is placed thereon, a first manipulator including a first pipette for holding the minute object, a second manipulator including a second pipette for operating the minute object that is held on the first pipette, an imaging unit for imaging the minute object, and a controller that controls the sample stage, the first pipette, the second pipette, and the imaging unit are provided.
