ORGANISM SAMPLE OBSERVATION DEVICE

摘要

A biological specimen observation apparatus whereby observation of a biological specimen can be performed accurately. In macro observation, a biological change region is extracted from a macro image, a micro observation point corresponding to an extracted biological change region is registered, and an object for tracking is identified. In micro observation, it is judged from the micro image whether or not biological change has continued in the biological change region at the micro observation point, and the registered micro observation point is updated on the basis of this judgment result. It is possible to carry out both macro observation for detecting a biological change region and micro observation for observing the progress of growth of a partial minute region where biological change has been exhibited, and to carry out accurate observation of a biological specimen.

主权项

1. A biological specimen observation apparatus which observes temporal change in a biological specimen, comprising:
an image acquisition unit to acquire an image by capturing an image of the biological specimen, while time lapse observation is performed; a biological change region extracting unit to extract a biological change region, which is a region of change in the biological specimen, from the acquired image; a micro observation point setting unit to register a micro observation point corresponding to the extracted biological change region; the image acquisition unit to capture an image of a micro region of change in the biological specimen identified at the micro observation point, while time lapse observation is performed; and a judgment unit to judge whether or not biological change has continued in the biological change region at the micro observation point, from the acquired micro image.
