| 20090015911 | Motor-operated microscope system and software for controlling motor-operated microscopes - A motor-operated microscope system has a motor-operated microscope section including an illumination optical system, an electric stage, an image forming optical system having an objective lens and an image forming lens, and an image pickup device; a housing; a control device having a screen display and an arithmetic processing section; and software displaying an operating condition setting screen of the motor-operated microscope section on the screen display and controlling an operation of the motor-operated microscope section in accordance with a set condition. The operating condition setting screen has, on one screen, a setting section for an exposure condition with the image pickup means; a setting section for a focusing condition with the objective lenses; an objective interchange setting section; a setting section for wavelength and luminance of illumination light; a setting section for an image pickup range; a display section for a picked-up image; and an operation commanding section for the motor-operated microscope section. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090196482 | APPARATUS, A METHOD AND SOFTWARE FOR ANALYZING A CELL IMAGE - There are provided a cell image analysis apparatus or method for judging the presence or absence of a membrane translocation reaction quickly and with good reproducibility using a fluorescence microscope. The inventive apparatus is a cell image analysis apparatus for judging the presence or absence of a membrane translocation reaction occurring in a cell owing to application of an arbitrary stimulus to the cell, characterized by comprising: a means that acquires as an image data a fluorescence microscopic image of a cell after the application of the stimulus; a means that determines a region occupied by the cell in the fluorescence image of the cell; a means that determines a contour line of the cell which has a width of a predetermined number of pixels from a periphery of the region occupied by the cell; and a means that judges the presence or absence of the membrane translocation reaction based on a brightness value on the contour line of the cell and a brightness value in an inside of the contour line of the cell. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20100172569 | CELL IMAGE ANALYSIS APPARATUS, CELL IMAGE ANALYSIS METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A cell image analysis apparatus includes a threshold value storage unit storing a cell nucleus threshold value, a fragmented cell nucleus threshold value, and a cell nucleus area threshold value in advance, an image input unit inputting a cell image captured from a cell stained with a fluorescent substance, a cell nucleus region extraction unit extracting, from the input cell image, a region having an area equal to or larger than the cell nucleus area threshold value from among regions having a luminance value equal to or larger than the cell nucleus threshold value as a cell nucleus region, and a fragmented cell nucleus region extraction unit extracting, from the cell nucleus region, a region having a luminance value equal to or larger than the fragmented cell nucleus threshold value as a fragmented cell nucleus region. | 07-08-2010 |
