20090046359 | Microscope - A microscope, in the microscope for observing a sample cultured with a culture vessel, can automatically obtain information about growing conditions of the sample. For this purpose, the microscope is a microscope for observing a sample cultured with a culture vessel, and includes a focusing unit focusing on at least two faces including a first face where the sample exists in the culture vessel and a second face differing from the first face based on predetermined conditions, and an imaging unit imaging for the first face and the second face to create images. | 02-19-2009 |
20090075365 | Culture Device - A culture device containing a culture vessel for culturing a cell, in which the culture device includes a thermostatic vessel having a stacker containing a plurality of culture vessels for culturing a cell, and an observation portion arranged to be isolated from an atmosphere at inside of the thermostatic vessel and having an object lens, an object lens drive portion, and a camera portion to observe a cell at inside of the culture vessel installed at an observation position at inside of the thermostatic vessel. | 03-19-2009 |
20090098642 | Incubator - An incubator including a temperature-controlled room adjusted to a predetermined environment condition for culturing a sample of an incubation container at inside of the temperature-controlled room, the incubator including a shifting mechanism for moving a position of the incubation container at inside of the temperature-controlled room by a motor, a temperature adjusting section for adjusting a temperature at inside of the temperature-controlled room, an operating information generating section for generating operating information with regard to a position of operating and a time period of operating the motor prior to operating the motor, an estimated variation outputting section for outputting an estimation variation of a temperature state by operating the motor based on the operating information, and a controlling section for controlling the temperature adjusting section to cancel a temperature change of an amount of the estimated variation in synchronism with operating the motor. | 04-16-2009 |
20090159814 | OBSERVING APPARATUS - An observing apparatus includes: a photographic unit that takes a region where cells are present as an observation object region based upon a macro image captured at low magnification of an interior of a cell culture vessel, and photographs the cells in the observation object region; an illuminating unit that irradiates light upon the cells only during photography by the photographic unit; and an output unit that outputs a fluorescent image photographed by the photographic unit while irradiating light only during photography by the illuminating unit. | 06-25-2009 |
20090237502 | Microscope apparatus - Provided with a time-lapse imaging unit which repeatedly captures a specimen at predetermined time intervals and generates a plurality of images, and a recording unit which records at least one of an image group including one or more of the images captured during a predetermined period among a period of a time-lapse capturing performed by the time-lapse imaging unit or an image group including one or more of the images picked at predetermined time intervals among the period of the time-lapse capturing performed by the time-lapse imaging unit. Thus, data generated in time-lapse photography are managed favorably in a microscope apparatus provided with a time-lapse imaging unit which repeatedly captures a specimen at predetermined time intervals and generates a plurality of images. | 09-24-2009 |
20120200691 | MICROSCOPE APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD - A microscope apparatus and control method. An image processing unit obtains an image on a plane observation cross-section inside a sample. A drive control unit controls a galvano-scanner and a z drive unit, and inclines the entire observation cross-section in a direction where the cross-section of an observation target that appears in the image becomes long. When an edge portion of the cross-section of the observation target is detected in the observation cross-section while gradually inclining the observation cross-section, the drive control unit uses an axis passing through the edge portion as the center to incline a part of the observation cross-section located on a side, where the cross-section of the observation target does not appear, from among the sides having this axis as a boundary, in a direction where the cross-section of the observation target appears, so as to form the observation cross-section having a profile which is folded. | 08-09-2012 |
