Abstract
An apparatus for observing a fine object is disclosed. The observation apparatus includes: a camera configured to capture each of a plurality of fine objects contained in at least some of a plurality of partitioned wells of a plate; a drive unit configured to allow the camera to relatively move with respect to the plate in such a manner that the camera scans the plate; and a controller configured to control the drive unit in such a manner that the camera captures only at least some wells having the plurality of fine objects from among the plurality of wells. The controller determines a shortest movement route of the camera on the basis of a position of at least some wells having the plurality of fine objects, and controls the drive unit in such a manner that the camera moves in the determined shortest movement route.
