Abstract: An imaging apparatus evaluation method of the present invention comprises obtaining an output function of original image data by comparing a plurality of sets of image data which are obtained by imaging the same spatial brightness distribution surface with different exposure times.

Abstract: In a light intensity measurement method of acquiring an image of a subject for detection, in which a plurality of target areas to be detected, each having a predetermined area, are arranged, and of measuring light intensity of each target area by analyzing the acquired image, each area smaller than the predetermined area is extracted as a noise area, from among areas extracted from the acquired image based on light intensity thereof, and is removed from the image. A light intensity measurement system has a device for emitting light to the subject; a device for acquiring an image of the subject to which the light is emitted; a device for storing the acquired image; a device for extracting each area, which has an area smaller than the predetermined area, as a noise area from the stored image; and a device for removing the noise area from the stored image.

Abstract: A fluorescent image is obtained by emitting the light with a wavelength which excites a labelling fluorescent substance, a mask is created by a foreign matter area image extracted from an image of foreign matter adhering to the measurement object obtained by emitting light with a wavelength which does not excite the fluorescent substance, and logical multiplication of the mask and the fluorescent image is executed, thereby obtaining a fluorescent image that a foreign matter area is eliminated from the fluorescent image.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a biochemical examination method of supplying a solution of a first biochemical material into an array of which respective second biochemical materials are held, and using a marker by a luminescent molecule to detect a luminescent intensity of the luminescent molecule for each probe array element of the array with an array type detector, so that a reaction state of the first biochemical material with the second biochemical materials is examined for each probe array element, the method comprising: irradiating a reference array by which the luminescent molecule is held with an excitation lighting to photograph a reference light image; irradiating the array for biochemical examination with the same excitation lighting to photograph a sample light image; and correcting the sample light image with the reference light image.
