Abstract
Provided is an observation system including: a monitor; a CPU that identifies, in a 3D image including the plurality of cells, the respective cells by assigning labels that differ from one another to the respective cells, that associates three mutually-intersecting cross-sectional images that constitute the 3D image, and that simultaneously displays the cross-sectional images on the monitor; and an input unit with which an operator specifies an arbitrary cell in any of the cross-sectional images displayed on the monitor. The CPU extracts, from the 3D image, the cross-sectional shapes, in the respective cross-sectional images, of the cell specified by using the input unit, on the basis of the labels, associates the extracted cross-sectional shapes of the cell with one another, and displays the extracted cross-sectional shapes in the respective cross-sectional images displayed on the monitor, in a distinguishable manner from the other cells.
