A biological specimen observation apparatus whereby observation of a biological specimen can be performed accurately. In macro observation, a biological change region is extracted from a macro image, a micro observation point corresponding to an extracted biological change region is registered, and an object for tracking is identified. In micro observation, it is judged from the micro image whether or not biological change has continued in the biological change region at the micro observation point, and the registered micro observation point is updated on the basis of this judgment result. It is possible to carry out both macro observation for detecting a biological change region and micro observation for observing the progress of growth of a partial minute region where biological change has been exhibited, and to carry out accurate observation of a biological specimen.

A traveling apparatus which can travel on a flat ground and on stairs is disclosed. The traveling apparatus is comprising a pair of left and right crawler units arranged on either one of a front portion and a rear portion below a body, a crawler unit arranged on the other one of the front portion and the rear portion, a wheel arranged at the center between the pair of left and right crawler units, and a pair of wheels arranged left and right with respect to the crawler unit. Here the wheels are arranged to move up and down relative to the crawler units.
