Patent number: 10466465Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2018Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: NIKON CORPORATIONInventors: Hideo Kuroda, Hirotada Watanabe, Yoichi Wada, Yasujiro Kiyota, Takayuki Uozumi, Ryuji Koshiba
