  • the depth of the culture broth 34 was 4.4 mm, and when bioluminescence was observed over time, the bioluminescence was attenuated in an unstable state.
  • the culture solution 34 overflowed outside the first cylindrical portion 44, and the depth of the culture solution 34 could not be measured.
  • the depth of the culture solution 34 is preferably in the range of 0.5 mm to 1.2 mm from the results of experiments using a dish having a diameter of 17.5 mm.
  • the container 16 is provided with a first step portion 45 (first index) and a second step portion 46 (second index) in advance. For this reason, the user can easily adjust the amount of the culture solution 34 so that the liquid level 34A of the culture solution 34 comes to a position between the first step portion 45 and the second step portion 46. Conditions suitable for acquisition can be obtained. And if an image is acquired by the process similar to the image acquisition process of 1st Embodiment, an optimal light emission image can be acquired. Moreover, in this embodiment, you may perform suitably the oxygen amount adjustment process of 1st Embodiment.
  • the oxygen amount adjusting unit is a petri dish-like container 16 that holds the biological sample 17 immersed in the culture solution 34, and the culture solution 34 has a water depth of 0.5 mm or more. It is the container 16 which has the parameter
  • the user of the image acquisition apparatus can easily know the amount of the culture solution 34 suitable for bioluminescence, and the convenience of the user can be improved. Thereby, the user can stably acquire a luminescence image by the above-described bioluminescence (luciferase-luciferin reaction).
  • microscope system 11 described in the present embodiment can be implemented with various modifications without departing from the gist of the invention.
  • one invention can be configured by combining the constituent elements of the first to third embodiments.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appareil d'acquisition d'image prévu avec une unité d'acquisition d'image pour acquérir une image luminescente d'un échantillon biologique 17 dans une solution de culture 34 sous éclairage en champ sombre, et une unité de régulation de la teneur en oxygène pour réguler la teneur en oxygène dans la solution de culture 34 dans une période autre qu'une période dans laquelle l'unité d'acquisition d'image acquiert l'image luminescente.
