Apparatus for observing fine object

An apparatus for observing a fine object comprising:

• a camera configured to capture each of a plurality of fine objects contained in at least some of partitioned wells of a plate;
• a drive unit coupled to the camera and configured to allow the camera to relatively move with respect to the plate in such a manner that the camera scans the plate;
• and
• a controller coupled to the drive unit and configured to control the drive unit in such a manner that the camera captures the at least some of partitioned wells having fine objects,
• wherein the controller operates to determine a shortest movement route of the camera based on a position of the at least some of partitioned wells having the fine objects, and control the drive unit to move the camera in the determined shortest movement route,
• wherein the camera is located at one side and the other side of the plate and operates to rotate about the fine object by the drive unit in such a manner that the camera captures an upper part of the fine object and a lower part of the fine object, and
• wherein the controller controls the drive unit in such a manner that the camera repeatedly performs a single set of the first movement and the second movement according to the number of iterations entered by a user.

• wherein if the fine object includes a fish egg, at least one of a movement speed of the camera and an image capture time for each well is determined on the basis of a differentiation time of the fish egg and the determined shortest movement route in such a manner that the scanning is completed within the differentiation time of the fish egg.
