Abstract:
A biological specimen observation apparatus whereby observation of a biological specimen can be performed accurately. In macro observation, a biological change region is extracted from a macro image, a micro observation point corresponding to an extracted biological change region is registered, and an object for tracking is identified. In micro observation, it is judged from the micro image whether or not biological change has continued in the biological change region at the micro observation point, and the registered micro observation point is updated on the basis of this judgment result. It is possible to carry out both macro observation for detecting a biological change region and micro observation for observing the progress of growth of a partial minute region where biological change has been exhibited, and to carry out accurate observation of a biological specimen.

Claim (Index 10):
A biological specimen observation apparatus which observes temporal change in a biological specimen, comprising:\n an imaging device; a memory; and one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors to\n control the imaging device to acquire a plurality of macro images of the biological specimen, by time lapse observation, \n extract a biological change region from a macro image, among the plurality of macro images, by image analysis of the plurality of macro images of the biological specimen acquired by the time lapse observation, and \n control the imaging device to acquire a plurality of micro images of at least a part of the extracted biological change region in the biological specimen, by another time lapse observation.
