Abstract
A fixed region at an outer periphery or an inner periphery of a sample that has a three-dimensional structure is selectively analyzed with accuracy. Provided is an observation system including a CPU that recognizes the 3D shape of an observation target, such as a spheroid, from a 3D image of cells, that sets a 3D mask of which the radial distance from a circumscribed surface of the recognized 3D shape is fixed over the entire region of the circumscribed surface and of which the shape is similar to the circumscribed surface, and that identifies a cell contained inside the set 3D mask.
