A fluorescence observation device is a device for performing fluorescence observation of a sample piece cut out from a sample including: a tray on which the sample piece is placed; a light source unit which generates excitation light to irradiate the sample piece; a detection unit which detects fluorescence from the sample piece; and an image generation unit which generates a fluorescence image of the sample piece based on a detection signal from the detection unit and the tray includes a plurality of placement regions provided around a center region of the tray and also includes a marker portion indicating a cutting orientation of the sample piece with respect to the sample.

Fluorescence observation device

A stroke information measurement device and a stroke information measurement method, by which stroke information, such as the stroke time, stroke length, etc., of a swimming swimmer can be measured accurately and immediately, are provided. This invention's stroke information measurement deviceis characterized in comprising: an image pickup means, capturing images of a swimming swimmer and outputting the image data of predetermined intervals; a front end detection means, detecting a front end in the direction of progress of the swimmer from an image of the body of the swimmer in each image data; and a stroke point detection part, detecting, from among the front ends, the front end at the timing when the swimmer is in a predetermined position in each stroke.

Stroke information measuring apparatus and stroke information measuring method

A stroke information measuring device according to the present invention comprises an imaging sectioncapturing image data of every predetermined time of a swimmer who is swimming, a pixel extracting sectionextracting pixels corresponding to the body image, a profile data generating sectionperforming the integration of the body image in a predetermined direction and generating the profile data, an end point extracting sectionextracting the end point of each profile data, a stroke point extracting sectionextracting the stroke point corresponding to the predetermined posture of the swimmer based on the periodic movement of each end point, and a calculating sectioncalculating the stroke information based on the stroke point.
