| 摘要 |
Through the present invention, more rapid detection time and reduced volume of detection data are realized during reading of fluorescence intensity from a fluorescence image. The present invention is an image reading method for reading a fluorescence image from a sample in which a plurality of fluorescent regions are present, and has (a) a step for setting a first image capture condition, (b) a step for capturing a fluorescence image in the first image capture condition, (c) a step for calculating a fluorescence intensity of each of a plurality of regions included in the captured fluorescence image, (d) a step for determining whether to end image capture on the basis of the calculated fluorescence intensities of the regions, (e) a step for setting a next image capture condition on the basis of the fluorescence intensities of the regions calculated in step (c) when a decision is made in step (d) not to end image capture, (f) a step for capturing a fluorescent image in the next image capture condition, and (g) a step for repeating steps (c) through (f) until a determination is made in step (d) to end image capture. |
