Abstract: An inverted microscope system provided with a transillumination subsystem that illuminates a sample includes: an eyepiece lens; an objective; a tube lens; a projection device, disposed below the objective, that projects a projected image based on projected image data onto an image plane where an optical image is formed; a first modulation element included in the transillumination subsystem; a second modulation element disposed between the objective and the tube lens; and a processor and a memory, the processor being configured to perform the following steps: generating an analysis result that specifies a candidate cell that is a reproductive cell suitable for fertilization, based on at least the digital image data acquired by the imaging device; and generating the projected image data based on the generated analysis result, wherein the projected image includes a first assisting image that specifies the candidate cell as an assisting image that assists with micro-insemination.

Abstract: A spring contact type battery holder includes a plurality of batteries having a positive electrode and a negative electrode on a same straight line. At least two batteries among the plurality of batteries are connected in parallel with each other in a state where same electrodes face each other on the same straight line.
