Abstract:
1. A cell observing apparatus, comprising: an observation stage to support an incubation container that houses cells; a micro imaging optical system having an objective lens and, when the incubation container is supported by the observation stage and is disposed at an observing position of the observation stage, to form, on an imaging device for micro imaging via the objective lens of the micro imaging optical system, an image of the cells in the incubation container; a macro imaging optical system having imaging lenses and, when the incubation container is supported by the observation stage and is disposed at the observing position of the observation stage, to form, on an imaging device for macro imaging via the imaging lenses of the macro imaging optical system, an image of an area wider than that captured by the micro imaging optical system in the incubation container; and a controlling unit to control an operation of a manipulation needle that manipulates the cells in the incubation container, wherein
