Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a culture apparatus that enables cells to be observed and dispensed without damaging the cells. 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.

Abstract: A lid removable device includes a first transferring mechanism transferring a culture vessel in a horizontal direction, a second transferring mechanism raising or lowering the culture vessel, a lid removable plate having an insertion region into which a vessel body of the culture vessel is inserted and a lid placing part on which a lid of the culture vessel is placed, and a transporting control unit controlling the first transferring mechanism so that the vessel body is inserted into the insertion region when the lid is removed from the culture vessel and controlling the second transferring mechanism so that the vessel body is separated from the lid, and controlling the first transferring mechanism so that the vessel body is positioned below the insertion region when the lid is attached to the culture vessel and controlling the second transferring mechanism so that the vessel body is moved toward the lid.

Abstract: A traveling apparatus which can travel on a flat ground and on stairs is disclosed. The traveling apparatus is comprising a pair of left and right crawler units arranged on either one of a front portion and a rear portion below a body, a crawler unit arranged on the other one of the front portion and the rear portion, a wheel arranged at the center between the pair of left and right crawler units, and a pair of wheels arranged left and right with respect to the crawler unit. Here the wheels are arranged to move up and down relative to the crawler units.
