An image-processing device including: a determination unit that determines a captured image on the basis of a ratio of cells and a distribution of the cells in the captured image acquired by imaging a sample including cells; and an area setting unit that sets an area used for analyzing the cells of the sample on the basis of a result of the determination acquired by the determination unit.

Image-processing device, image-processing method, and image-processing program for setting cell analysis area based on captured image

An analysis device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire an image of a cell and an identification unit configured to identify elements that are identifiable on the basis of the image of cell acquired by the acquisition unit. Characteristic quantities of the elements identified by the identification unit are calculated, a correlation between the characteristic quantities is calculated on the basis of the calculated characteristic quantities of the elements, and a correlation between the elements is calculated on the basis of the calculated correlation between the characteristic quantities.

Analysis device, analysis method, analysis program, cell manufacturing method and cells

An image processing apparatus, a method, and a program for allowing cells to be quantitatively observed. A computer obtains a cell membrane image obtained by performing fluorescent observation on a cell membrane of a cell serving as a sample and a tricellular tight junction (tTJ) image obtained by performing fluorescent observation on a protein localized in a tTJ of the cell. The computer derives the size of area of a region of the cell by identifying the region of each cell from the cell membrane image, derives the size of area of the region of the protein localized in the cell from the tTJ image, and dividing the obtained size of area of the region of the protein by the size of area of the region of the cell, thus calculating an index of adhesion strength of the cells. The invention can be applied to an observation system.
