Abstract
The image sensing device () includes: a vessel holding portion () that holds a culture vessel (S); a swing portion () in which the vessel holding portion () is provided; a vibration application portion (); an image sensing portion () that senses an image of the cells within the culture vessel (S); an image correction portion () that uses images at a plurality of image sensing places which include at least one image sensed by the image sensing portion () during vibration so as to correct a displacement between the images caused as a result of the image sensing places being different; and an image processing portion () that uses the image sensed by the image sensing portion () and the image corrected by the image correction portion () so as to distinguish between a state of floatation of the cells and a state of adherence thereof.
