20100009433 | CULTURING SYSTEM - The problem of a specimen being vibrated during supply or drainage of a liquid such as a culture solution can be avoided, thus allowing acquisition of a stable image. The invention provides a culturing system including a main container having an opening facing upward, accommodating a culture vessel containing a biological specimen, and having an inner space maintained at a predetermined incubation environment; and a nozzle fixed to the main container and inserted into the culture vessel through the opening of the culture vessel to supply or drain a liquid into or from the culture vessel. The main container includes a transparent portion through which the biological specimen in the main container can be externally observed. | 01-14-2010 |
20100103510 | MICROSCOPE APPARATUS - A microscope apparatus capable of removing liquid from an observation field of view of a dry objective lens, when an immersion objective lens is switched to the dry objective lens, is provided. The microscope apparatus includes a specimen XY stage on which a specimen is placed, a dry objective lens and an immersion objective lens that collect light from the specimen, a movable revolver that selectively disposes one of these objective lenses at a position facing the specimen, and a control unit that controls the specimen XY stage and movable revolver such that the relative positions in the XY direction are changed until the immersion objective lens is disposed at a non-observation region of the dry objective lens, prior to switching of these objective lenses. | 04-29-2010 |
20100310139 | Biological observation apparatus - Detailed fluorescence observation is performed without losing a biological specimen from a viewing range. Provided is a biological observation apparatus that includes a light source that radiates illumination light onto an observation region that includes a biological specimen; a CCD that acquires a macro image of the observation region by capturing transmitted light from the observation region; a light source that radiates excitation light onto the biological specimen; a micro-image acquisition unit that acquires a micro image of the biological specimen by detecting fluorescence generated at a position in the biological specimen irradiated by the excitation light; an identification-information storing unit that stores identification information of the biological specimen; a biological-specimen specifying unit that extracts identification information of the biological specimen by performing image processing on the macro image and that specifies a biological specimen for which the extracted identification information corresponds to the identification information stored in the identification-information storing unit; and a pan controller that moves a capturing range of the micro-image acquisition unit such that the biological specimen is included in the viewing range of the micro image. | 12-09-2010 |
