1. A cell inspection method for inspecting cells contained in a cell suspension by using a light source and an observation unit, the cell inspection method comprising:
a concentrate production step of injecting the cell suspension into a chamber formed of an outer cylinder and a slide, and producing a cell concentrate, the outer cylinder having a through hole;
a staining step of staining the cells on the slide;
a cell precipitation step of precipitating the cells on the slide; and
an observation step of observing the cells on the slide by the observation unit while illuminating the cells with the light source,
wherein in the concentrate production step, the cell concentrate is produced by causing an inner cylinder which has a filter provided on a bottom surface to enter from the bottom surface side into the through hole of the outer cylinder and bringing the inner cylinder closer to the slide, the inner cylinder having an internal space, and
in the observation step, observation is performed in a state where the inner cylinder is entered into the outer cylinder.
