A microscope system improves the operability of a user in performing a microscope observation. The microscope system attains the improvement by including: a microscope apparatus including a plurality of drive units; a display unit for displaying an operation screen for operation of the microscope apparatus; a pointing device for inputting by a pointer an operation instruction to the microscope apparatus on the operation screen; and a control unit for switching the drive units depending on the position of the pointer on the operation screen, and controlling the operation of the switched drive units depending on the operation of the pointing device.

Microscope system, storage medium storing control program, and control method

An object of the present invention is to provide a predetermined site luminescence measuring method and a predetermined site luminescence measuring apparatus, which allow for determining whether, when the luminescence from the predetermined site in live samples is measured, a photoprotein is localized at the predetermined site in the same ones as the samples. An predetermined site luminescence measuring apparatusin the present invention is comprised of: a the sampleinto which a fused fusion gene is introduced, the fusion gene being obtained by fusing a fluorescence-related gene that expresses a fluorescence protein in addition to a targeting base sequence and a luminescence-related gene; a containerfor storing the sample, a stageon which the containeris arranged; a luminescent image capturing unitwhich captures a luminescent image of the sample(the objective lensto the CCD camera, and the imaging lens); a fluorescent image capturing unitwhich captures a fluorescent image of the sample(the objective lensto shutter); and an the information communication terminal

Predetermined site luminescence measuring method, predetermined site luminescence measuring apparatus, expression amount measuring method, and measuring apparatus

A microscope includes an illuminating unit that includes an excitation light source emitting an excitation light, and a phosphor receiving the excitation light and emitting illumination light in a specific wavelength range. The illuminating unit illuminates a specimen with the illumination light. The microscope also includes an observation unit for observing the specimen illuminated by the illuminating unit.

The present invention provides a control method for a microscope apparatus, comprising: a first step for recognizing a type of a specimen retention member retaining a specimen; a second step for obtaining a first image including the whole image of a specimen retention member showing a picture of the entirety of the specimen retention member and an image of the specimen, and obtaining a second image including only the whole image of the specimen retention member in accordance with the type of the specimen retention member; and a third step for obtaining a macro observation image with a self fluorescence removed except for the specimen based on the first image and second image.

Microscope apparatus control method and microscope apparatus

This is an optical apparatus provided with an objective with a correction collar for correcting aberration due to an error in the optical thickness of a piece of cover glass comprising a focusing mechanism for changing a distance between the objective and the sample, an optical thickness detecting unit for detecting the optical thickness of the cover glass, an operating unit for calculating the amount of aberration correction, based on the optical thickness of the cover glass detected by the optical thickness detecting unit, a driver unit for driving a correction collar, based on the amount of aberration correction calculated by the operating unit and an imaging sensor for forming the image of the sample that passes through the objective.
