Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. An inverted microscope system provided with a transillumination subsystem that illuminates a sample, the inverted microscope system comprising:
an eyepiece lens;
an objective that guides transmitted light transmitted through the sample to the eyepiece lens;
a tube lens, disposed between the eyepiece lens and the objective, that forms an optical image of the sample on a basis of the transmitted light;
an imaging device that acquires digital image data of the sample on a basis of the transmitted light;
a projection device, disposed below the objective, that projects a projected image on a basis of projected image data onto an image plane where the optical image is formed;
a first modulation element, included in the transillumination subsystem, that modulates illuminating light irradiating the sample;
a second modulation element, disposed between the objective and the tube lens, that modulates the transmitted light; and
a processor and a memory, the processor being configured to perform the following steps:
generating an analysis result that specifies a candidate cell, that is, a reproductive cell suitable for fertilization from among reproductive cells included in the sample, on a basis of at least the digital image data acquired by the imaging device; and
generating the projected image data on a basis of the generated analysis result, wherein

the projected image includes a first assisting image that specifies the candidate cell as an assisting image that assists with micro-insemination using the sample.
