Abstract
Provided are a cell evaluation apparatus and a cell evaluation method capable of preventing overlooking of remaining undifferentiated cells. A first evaluation part 1 and a second evaluation part 2 that evaluate cells to be evaluated are provided. The first evaluation part 1 includes first and second discrimination parts 31 and 32 that respectively discriminate whether the cells to be evaluated correspond to two types of cells on the basis of an image obtained by imaging the cells to be evaluated, and the second evaluation part 2 evaluates the cells to be evaluated under an evaluation condition different from an evaluation condition of the first evaluation part in a case where discrimination results in the first and second discrimination parts 31 and 32 are conflicting.
Claims20
A cell evaluation apparatus comprising:
- a central processing unit that performs a first evaluation and a second evaluation that evaluate cells to be evaluated,
- wherein the central processing unit is configured to:
- evaluate whether the cells to be evaluated correspond to at least two types of cells using at least two discriminations that respectively discriminate on the basis of an image obtained by imaging the cells to be evaluated, as the first evaluation, and
- evaluate the cells to be evaluated under an evaluation condition different from an evaluation condition of the first evaluation in a case where discrimination results in at least two discriminations among the at least two discriminations of the first evaluation are conflicting, as the second evaluation.
A cell evaluation method comprising:
- performing a first evaluation for discriminating, on the basis of an image obtained by imaging cells to be evaluated, whether the cells to be evaluated correspond to at least two types of cells using at least two discrimination parts;
- and
- performing a second evaluation for evaluating the cells to be evaluated under an evaluation condition different from an evaluation condition of the first evaluation in a case where discrimination results in at least two discrimination parts among the at least two discrimination parts of the first evaluation are conflicting.
