An internal space of an incubator unit is provided with a dispensing area for arranging dispensers for dispensing into a culture vessel, an observation area for arranging an observation unit for observing a sample placed in the culture vessel through an observation optical system, and a transport area for arranging a transport unit for transporting the culture vessel in the horizontal and vertical directions, the dispensing area and the observation area are respectively arranged adjacent to the transport area in the horizontal direction which is a direction of transport of the transport unit, and the transport unit transports the culture vessel between the dispensing area and the observation area. The present invention can be applied to a cell culture apparatus that houses a culture vessel containing a sample in an internal space and cultures the sample under prescribed environmental conditions. | 11-18-2010 |
20120133755 | ORGANISM SAMPLE OBSERVATION DEVICE - A biological specimen observation apparatus whereby observation of a biological specimen can be performed accurately. In macro observation, a biological change region is extracted from a macro image, a micro observation point corresponding to an extracted biological change region is registered, and an object for tracking is identified. In micro observation, it is judged from the micro image whether or not biological change has continued in the biological change region at the micro observation point, and the registered micro observation point is updated on the basis of this judgment result. It is possible to carry out both macro observation for detecting a biological change region and micro observation for observing the progress of growth of a partial minute region where biological change has been exhibited, and to carry out accurate observation of a biological specimen. | 05-31-2012 |

20090095711 | MICROFABRICATION APPARATUS AND DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD - A microfabrication apparatus for pressing an original plate including a pattern down on a substrate to transfer the pattern on the substrate includes a first measurement unit for measuring relative positional displacement between the substrate and the plate above the substrate, a position correction unit for correcting relative position between the substrate and the plate such that the pattern is to be transferred on a first predetermined position of the substrate based on the relative positional displacement measured by the first measurement unit, a pressing unit for pressing the plate above the substrate down on the substrate to transfer the pattern on the substrate in a state that the relative positional displacement between the substrate and the plate is corrected by the position correction unit, and a second measurement unit for measuring relative positional relationship between the pattern transferred on the substrate and a pattern previously formed on the substrate. | 04-16-2009 |
20090206280 | CHARGED-BEAM EXPOSURE APPARATUS HAVING AN IMPROVED ALIGNMENT PRECISION AND EXPOSURE METHOD - The first charged-beam optical system, which is one of the charged-beam optical systems, detects first marks provided on the chips formed in the wafer. The positions of the chips made in the wafer are calculated from position data about the first marks detected. The charged-beam optical systems detect the second mark provided on a stage. The position of the beam generated by each charged-beam optical system is adjusted in accordance with position data about the second mark detected. The charged-beam optical systems are used in accordance with the positions of the chips, to thereby draw a pattern. | 08-20-2009 |
