A cell counting device for counting the number of cells in a sample includes: an accommodation portion that accommodates, in a removable manner, at least a part of a holding member for holding the sample; and a display unit configured to display information including a result of counting of the number of cells. The display unit has a screen inclined with respect to a bottom of the cell counting device. The bottom is configured to be in contact with a placement surface on which the cell counting device is placed. The display unit is provided between the accommodation portion and the bottom.

Cell counter

A microscope system includes a microscope body having a base portion forming a foundation, an arm portion extending substantially parallel to a bottom surface of the base portion, and a frame portion connecting ends of the base portion and the arm portion, having substantially a C shape in side view and holding an illumination optical system ejecting illumination light from a light source to a specimen. A light source unit is connected with the microscope body and radiates illumination light to the illumination optical system. A focusing unit supports a stage for placing the specimen and at least holding an objective lens focusing the specimen by collecting observation light from the specimen on the stage. The microscope body and the focusing unit do not contact each other in a state where an optical axis of the objective lens coincides with an optical axis of the illumination light.

Microscope system

The present invention has a three-dimensional apparatus including a lattice pattern placed in an optical path and having a slit-like light transmitting portion formed of pitches set at fixed intervals, and a projecting optical system that projects a lattice pattern image formed by the lattice pattern on the sample so that the image is inclined at a predetermined angle. A lattice pitch is determined on the basis of set parameters including the magnification of an observing system. A pattern is formed by the lattice pitch. The pattern is used to pick up a deformed lattice pattern image using a TV camera. An image of each position is acquired while shifting the lattice pattern over several levels. A phase is determined. A height is then determined using the difference between the phase and a basic phase corresponding to a pre-provided magnification or the like. The height is then displayed.
