METHOD FOR ANALYZING IMAGE FOR CELL OBSERVATION, IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM AND IMAGE PROCESSOR

摘要

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means capable of quantitatively grasping the moving state of a cell. Ž<P>SOLUTION: An image processing program of a cell observation image includes: steps (S40 and S45) for acquiring a first image, which is photographed by an imaging device and contains a plurality of cells in an observation region, and the second image of the observation region photographed by the imaging device after a predetermined time is elapsed from the photographing time of the first image; the step (S30) for selecting one cell as a cell of interest from a plurality of the cells contained in the first image; the step (S35) for indicating the cell positioned in the periphery of the cell of interest as a peripheral cell; the step (S50) for calculating the statistical values of the movements of the peripheral cell to the cell of interest on the basis of the values of the relative movements of the cell of interest and peripheral cell in the first and second images; and the step (S55) for outputting the calculated statistical values of the movements of the peripheral cells to the outside.
