Abstract: A biological sample holding container includes: a container main body having a bottom surface portion having a placement region for a biological sample and a side surface portion provided on the bottom surface portion so as to surround the placement region; and an annular holding member insertable and removable inside the side surface portion. The holding member holds a film covering the biological sample on the placement region with the bottom surface portion by being inserted inside the side surface portion together with the film.

Abstract: A fluorescence observation device is a device for performing fluorescence observation of a sample piece cut out from a sample including: a tray on which the sample piece is placed; a light source unit which generates excitation light to irradiate the sample piece; a detection unit which detects fluorescence from the sample piece; and an image generation unit which generates a fluorescence image of the sample piece based on a detection signal from the detection unit and the tray includes a plurality of placement regions provided around a center region of the tray and also includes a marker portion indicating a cutting orientation of the sample piece with respect to the sample.
