Abstract
Provided with a time-lapse imaging unit which repeatedly captures a specimen at predetermined time intervals and generates a plurality of images, and a recording unit which records at least one of an image group including one or more of the images captured during a predetermined period among a period of a time-lapse capturing performed by the time-lapse imaging unit or an image group including one or more of the images picked at predetermined time intervals among the period of the time-lapse capturing performed by the time-lapse imaging unit. Thus, data generated in time-lapse photography are managed favorably in a microscope apparatus provided with a time-lapse imaging unit which repeatedly captures a specimen at predetermined time intervals and generates a plurality of images.
Claims8
A microscope apparatus, comprising:
- a time-lapse imaging unit which repeatedly captures a specimen at predetermined time intervals and generates a plurality of images;
- and
- a recording unit which records at least one of an image group including one or more of the images captured during a predetermined period among a period of a time-lapse capturing performed by the time-lapse imaging unit and an image group including one or more of the images picked at predetermined time intervals among the period of the time-lapse capturing performed by the time-lapse imaging unit.
A microscope apparatus, comprising:
- a time-lapse imaging unit which repeatedly captures a specimen at predetermined time intervals and generates a plurality of images;
- and
- a recording unit which clips an image of a predetermined area from each of the plurality of images generated by the time-lapse imaging unit, and records an image group including one or more images clipped.
A microscope apparatus, comprising:
- a time-lapse imaging unit which repeatedly captures a specimen at predetermined time intervals and generates a plurality of images;
- and
- a recording unit which generates either one of a first image group including one or more of the images captured during a predetermined period among a period of a time-lapse capturing performed by the time-lapse imaging unit and a second image group including one or more of the images picked at predetermined time intervals among the period of the time-lapse capturing performed by the time-lapse imaging unit, and further clips an image of a predetermined area from each of the plurality of images forming the generated image groups and records a third image group including one or more images clipped.
