CULTURE APPARATUS CONTROLLER AND CONTROL PROGRAM

摘要

The troublesome work that the user specifies a point to be observed is eliminated. A culture apparatus controller includes a thermostatic chamber (12) in which a culture vessel is placed, a first imaging optical system (53) for imaging a predetermined region of the culture vessel in the thermostatic chamber with a first enlargement magnification, and a second imaging optical system (53) for imaging a region narrower than the predetermined region of the culture vessel with a second enlargement magnification higher than the first enlargement magnification. The culture apparatus controller further includes a wide-viewing-field observing means (14) for allowing the first imaging optical system to image the predetermined region of the culture vessel, a searching means (55) for searching the image captured by the imaging for an object having a predetermined feature in the predetermined region, a microscopic observing means (14) for allowing the second imaging optical system to image the object searched for, and a recording means (14a) for recording the image captured by the microscopic observing means.
