PURPOSE:To lessen the manpower for an inspection and to improve the reliability thereof by identifying normal and abnormal cells from the image signal of the sample of a dyed cell specimen, again subjecting only the abnormal cells to a precision inspection and extracting the specimen requiring a visual inspection. CONSTITUTION:The sample 2 of the dyed blood specimen is set in a cassette 1 of a sample cassette loader 3. The sample 2 is fed to a microscope 8 to inspect and is made into the image signal by a television camera 11. The image signal is inputted into a circuit 12 for taking-in an image signal and extracting characteristics. The measurement data thereof is put into a calculator 16 through a computer controller 13 and is collated with the analysis data stored in a memory 14, by which the primary analysis to identify the normal cells and the abnormal cells is made. The secondary analysis to compare the characteristic parameter of the cell image with the known data under the precision conditions of only the abnormal cells is again made to extract the specimen requiring the visual inspection. Since the specimen requiring the visual inspection is efficiently extracted by a cell classifying device in the above-mentioned manner, the automatic analysis is efficiently made by increasing the number of the specimens.
