OBSERVATION APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING OBSERVATION APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM FOR OBSERVATION APPARATUS

摘要

An observation apparatus includes an imaging unit that includes an imaging section and an illumination section, a driving mechanism that moves the imaging unit, a position control section, a vessel position acquisition section, an illumination control section, an imaging control section that causes the imaging section to image a sample. The illumination section includes a plurality of emitting sections configured to emit illumination light and illuminates the sample. The position control section and the vessel position acquisition section acquire position information on the imaging unit and the sample, respectively. The illumination control section selects which of the emitting sections emits illumination light and causes the selected emitting section to emit main illumination light based on the position information on the sample and the imaging unit.
