PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology of estimating damage to a sample S with higher accuracy than a prior art.SOLUTION: A microscope system 1 is a time lapse imaging system. The microscope system 1 includes an arithmetic unit 30 that calculates an invasion degree evaluation value indicating the magnitude of damage to a sample S due to time lapse imaging on the basis of a condition for the time lapse imaging. Under a condition where the total energy of irradiation with which the sample S is irradiated during a period of time lapse imaging is constant, the arithmetic unit 30 calculates the invasion degree evaluation value larger as an imaging interval is shorter. Subsequently, the arithmetic unit 30 displays the calculated invasion degree evaluation value on a display device 50.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
