Claim One:
1. A cell evaluation apparatus, comprising: circuitry configured to: detect motion of cultured cardiomyocytes for each observation field of a plurality of observation fields that correspond to a plurality of partial areas on the cultured cardiomyocytes; calculate a motion amount of the detected motion; calculate pulsation information on a characteristic amount of pulsations of the cultured cardiomyocytes based on the calculated motion amount, wherein the pulsation information, is a pulsation area of the cultured cardiomyocytes within an observation field of the plurality of observation fields, calculated based on comparison of an added value of pieces of block unit motion amount data corresponding to respective blocks with a threshold value, wherein each respective block of the respective blocks correspond to a respective area of the plurality of partial areas on the cultured cardiomyocytes; calculate an evaluation value corresponding to the plurality of observation fields based on the pulsation information; and determine the observation field observed on the cultured cardiomyocytes based on the evaluation value.
