Publication number: 20180113294Abstract: A liquid surface in a culture vessel is irradiated with liquid-surface-measurement illumination light, and transmitted light that has passed through the liquid is detected by an imaging unit. A relative positional relationship between a focal plane of an image forming optical system and the culture vessel is changed, a detection signal for each position of the focal plane is obtained, and a liquid surface shape is estimated on the basis of the detection signal for each position of the focal plane. Then, on the basis of the estimated liquid surface shape, adjustment information for adjusting the optical characteristics of an adjustment optical system for adjusting refraction of light due to the liquid surface shape is acquired. After the optical characteristics of the adjustment optical system have been adjusted on the basis of the adjustment information, an image of a specimen is captured by irradiating the culture vessel with phase-contrast-measurement illumination light.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2017Publication date: April 26, 2018Applicant: FUJIFILM CorporationInventor: Yasushi SHIRAISHI
