<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a culture apparatus for microscopic observation that is capable of efficiently keeping an atmosphere (humidity, temperature, gas composition) in a culture space constant without making a structure complex. <P>SOLUTION: The culture apparatus for microscopic observation includes a storage unit 3 for storing a container holding a culture solution A and a sample B, and a lid body 21 for closing an opening on the upper surface side of the storage unit 3, and is installed on a stage S of a microscope and used to microscopically observe the sample B. The culture apparatus includes a gas concentration detection means 33 for detecting the concentration of a desired gas component in an atmospheric gas in the culture space, and a gas supply means for supplying a gas into the culture space according to concentration information from the gas concentration detection means 33. The gas is supplied as necessary so as to not only prevent the gas from leaking but also prevent resulting decreases in heat and moisture. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
