CONFOCAL OBSERVATION SYSTEM, PHOTOIRRADIATION METHOD AND PHOTOIRRADIATION PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately perform luminous stimulus and photobleach in the corresponding area of a sample by specifying an optional three-dimensional area in a stereoscopic sample image, and to accurately perform the analysis of the behavior of the sample having a stereostructure after the luminous stimulus is performed.;SOLUTION: The confocal laser microscope as the confocal observation system is provided with a scanning optical system A and a detection optical system B for obtaining the optical cross section image of the stereoscopic sample 9, and a control unit 14 or the like for performing processing of forming the three-dimensional image from the obtained optical cross section image, processing of specifying a desired three-dimensional area in the formed three-dimensional image, processing of obtaining a cross section area to be irradiated with exciting light or stimulating light based on the specified three-dimensional area and processing of irradiating the area of the stereoscopic sample 9 corresponding to the obtained cross section area with the exciting light or the stimulating light.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
