Abstract:
The number of cells existing and the positions thereof in a container that contains the cells can be grasped at a glance. Provided is an analysis-result browsing device that includes: a camera that captures cells at set capturing positions; a processing unit that detects and analyzes the cells captured by the camera, for the respective capturing positions; a display unit that displays analysis results of the cells analyzed by the processing unit, together with a container map that shows a container and the plurality of capturing positions in the container; and a control unit that sets the capturing positions in the container, which contains the cells, and simultaneously displays the analysis results of the cells at at least two of the capturing positions on the container map, which is displayed on the display unit.
Abstract:
A culture monitoring system includes: an image acquisition device that is arranged in an incubator and acquires an image of a biological sample cultured in the incubator; and a controller that controls the image acquisition device. The controller includes an estimator that estimates a state of a temperature of the biological sample with respect to a set temperature of the incubator, and a device controller that restricts an operation of the image acquisition device at least according to the state.
Abstract:
A cell culture monitoring system includes measuring units housed in an incubator and each equipped with an indicator, the measuring units each measuring a state of cells in a culture container mounted therein; and an administration unit. The administration unit includes a receiver that receives, from each of the measuring units, a state of the cells measured, the state being associated with identification information of the measuring unit; an analyzer that analyzes the state of the cells and computes information indicating a culture state; a storage that stores, in association with each other, the information indicating the culture state and the identification information; a display that displays, in association with each other, the information indicating the culture state and an identification based on the identification information; and a controller that controls the indicators so that each of the indicators displays the identification corresponding to the identification displayed on the display.
Abstract:
An observation device including: an imaging element that captures images of cells contained in a culture vessel; an oblique illumination device that performs oblique illumination to the cells from a plurality of illumination directions, out of the optical axis of the imaging element; a controller that detects the relationship between the position of the culture vessel and the position of the imaging element and that selects the illumination directions of the oblique illumination device on the basis of the detected relationship between the position of the culture vessel and the position of the imaging element; and an image processor that applies, on the basis of the illumination direction of the oblique illumination device, processing for reducing shadows on the cells caused by the oblique illumination, to an image of the cells acquired by the imaging element.
Abstract:
A measurement apparatus includes: a holding unit that holds at least a specimen to be observed; an illumination unit that emits illumination light to be irradiated to the specimen; a detection unit that is arrangeably provided in the holding unit and detects an intensity of the illumination light on a light irradiation surface of the specimen; a field stop that is formed with an aperture and stops down a field on the light irradiation surface by an image of the aperture that is provided on an optical path of the illumination unit, the aperture through which the illumination light passes and through which an image of the illumination light is projected on the light illumination surface; and a computation unit that computes, based on an area of the aperture and the detected intensity, an intensity of the illumination light per unit area of the light irradiation surface.
