Assignee: SYSMEX CORPORATION
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  C | IPC C  G

Claim 11:
12. A device for analyzing a fluorescence image comprising:
a light source that emits light to a sample including cells labeled with a fluorescent dye at a target site;
an imaging unit configured to capture a fluorescence image of each of the cells that emit fluorescence by being irradiated with the light;
a display; and
a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
generate a pixel representation of the captured fluorescence image, the pixel representation comprising pixel values of pixels constituting the captured fluorescence image;
process the captured fluorescence image to acquire a bright spot pattern of the fluorescence image based on pixel values in a pixel representation of the captured fluorescence image;
compare the bright spot pattern with a reference pattern corresponding to the measurement item based on coordinate information of pixels included in a bright spot of the bright spot pattern, wherein the bright spot pattern comprises at least one of a positive reference pattern and a negative reference pattern;
classify the acquired bright spot pattern based on the comparison of the reference pattern and the acquired bright spot pattern; and
control the display to display information of the sample based on a classification of the acquired bright spot pattern for a plurality of cells of the sample.
