System and method for cell evaluation, and cell evaluation program

A cell evaluation method comprising:

• performing a physical measurement by irradiating individual cells in a cell group as a measurement object flowing in a flow passage with either a structured excitation light or a structured illuminating light, individually interacting the cells in the cell group with either the excitation light or the illuminating light in time series, and mapping optical space information of the cells in time series waveforms of signal strength;
• storing, in a database, a relevance configured in at least three levels, each of the at least three levels of relevance indicating a degree of relevance between the time series waveforms of signal strength as measurement information measured by performing the physical measurement and cell identification information;
• and
• performing an evaluation by referring to the relevance stored in the database, and identifying the cell identification information of a newly measured cell by performing an operation of selecting at least one piece of the cell identification information based on the time series waveform of signal strength as the measurement information of the newly measured cell measured by performing the physical measurement.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that is executable by a computer to control the computer to execute processes comprising:
