An object is to closely observe, by means of images of a camera having high performance specifications, changes in a structure due to heating or cooling of the structure to a temperature beyond a service temperature limit of the camera having high performance specifications and returning from that temperature to room temperature. A structure observation device includes: a camera case of a rectangular three-dimensional shape, having a glass window of heat-resistant and/or cold-resistant glass on at least one side of the three-dimensional shape; heat insulating walls covering the camera case except for the glass window; a fluid supply port and a fluid discharge port through which a cooling or warming fluid is circulated into; and a camera that is disposed inside the camera case and captures a still image or a moving image through the glass window and externally outputs or internally stores data of the captured image.

Structure observation device and observation method

A method of measuring panel stiffness of an automobile part outer panel by pushing an indenter onto a surface of the panel in a pushing direction intersecting the surface under a load to deform the panel and measuring deformation of the panel includes arranging grids in a lattice form to a surface of a site of the panel; arranging markers previously knowing three-dimensional position information on a periphery of the site; pushing the indenter onto the surface of the site under the load and moving the indenter in a direction perpendicular to the pushing direction, during which the grids on the surface deformed by loading of the indenter are simultaneously and repeatedly shot from plural positions by plural cameras; and calculating position information of the grids corresponding to the markers based on the image data to measure change in deformation of the panel associated with movement of the indenter.
