Photographing control device, microscope and program

摘要

The present invention relates to a photographing control device, microscope and program that can simply confirm whether time lapse photography is being executed normally or not.;A number of a display target round, time required for processing of the round, and the operation state of each device of an inverted microscope and a camera in the round, are displayed in a window 431 on a photographed result display screen 421 that displays the photographed result of the time lapse photography. The individual operation time of the each device of the inverted microscope and the camera from the start of the processing of a photographing point selected in a list box 433 to the completion of the photographing of a channel selected in a list box 434, is displayed in a window 435. When an image button is pressed, the image of a photographed sample is displayed. The present invention can be applied to software for controlling time lapse photography using a microscope, for example.

主权项

1. A photographing control device for controlling time lapse photography using a microscope, comprising:
a control device that controls an operation of apparatuses of said microscope that perform processing related to said time lapse photography, in an execution mode for executing said time lapse photography, and a test mode for confirming an operation of said time lapse photography before said execution mode, the test mode executing a predetermined number of rounds of time lapse photography, wherein parameters of the test mode are set to be different than parameters of the execution mode so that photography during the test mode are different than the photography during the execution mode, and wherein, during the predetermined number of rounds of time lapse photography in the test mode, test mode photographing is ended if an instruction to interrupt the test mode photographing is received; a monitoring device that monitors an operation state of the each apparatus such that in response to determining that an abnormality occurred during the predetermined number of rounds of time lapse photography of the test mode, a notification of the abnormality is generated; and a determination device that determines whether the operation state of said apparatuses is normal or not based on a monitoring result by said monitoring device in said test mode.
