Patent ID: 8606809

Claim:
A non-transitory computer readable program recording medium storing a program causing a computer, which analyzes a culture state of cells by using a culture device including a temperature-controlled room culturing the cells under a predetermined environment condition and an imaging device capturing a microscope observing image of the cells in the temperature-controlled room, to execute: generating a plurality of cell analyzing tables, each table corresponding to a different time at which the cells are observed, and each table generated through a process comprising reading data of a transparent observing image and data of a fluorescence image generated through continuous imaging of a same field by the imaging device, the images representing the cells at a certain observing time which differs among observation times respectively represented in the plurality of cell analyzing tables, generating identification data corresponding to each of the cells and cell shape data indicating a position and a shape of each of the cells by using the data of the transparent observing image, generating fluorescence data indicating a fluorescence detecting state within the field by using the data of the fluorescence image, and generating a cell analyzing table indicating a state of each of the cells and including the identification data, the identification data corresponded to both the cell shape data and the data of the fluorescence image; matching a cell's identity across the plurality of cell analyzing tables for the different observing times by using the cell shape data, to thereby determine a correspondence relationship of the identification data between the plurality of cell analyzing tables for the different observing times; and generating, based on the correspondence relationship of the identification data, a database searchable in a time axis direction in which information of an identical cell is linked with common identification data among the plurality of cell analyzing tables for the different observing times.
