    Abstract: A light irradiation device includes: a light source configured to output light having coherence; a light focusing element having a focusing axis and a non-focusing axis intersecting with the focusing axis and configured to focus the light on a focusing line so as to generate planar light; and an aperture mask having an opening part that limits a part of luminous fluxes of the light transmitted from the light source to the light focusing element. The opening part of the aperture mask has opening edges disposed to extend in a direction along the focusing axis of the light focusing element, and, in a case in which the opening edges are projected onto the focusing line, corresponding projected portions have linear spreads.

    Abstract: An aggregated cell evaluation apparatus includes a laser light source, a speckle image acquisition unit, an SC calculation unit, an evaluation unit, and a memory unit. The speckle image acquisition unit acquires a two-dimensional speckle image by forward scattered light generated in aggregated cells by irradiation of the aggregated cells with laser light output from the laser light source. The SC calculation unit calculates a speckle contrast value Kn of a speckle image In at each time tn, determines a maximum value Kmax among the speckle contrast values K1 to KN, and normalizes the speckle contrast value Kn at each time tn by the maximum value Kmax to obtain a normalized speckle contrast value Kn′. The evaluation unit evaluates motion of the aggregated cells, based on the normalized speckle contrast value Kn′ at each time tn.

    Abstract: In a sample observation device, an image capturing unit includes an area image sensor that performs image capturing by the rolling shutter method in which a start of an exposure period of pixel columns in the pixel region is shifted by predetermined time, and a control unit controls the image capturing unit so that an exposure order in each of the pixel columns is reversed between a period in which a scanning unit scans a sample in a first direction and a period in which the scanning unit scans the sample in a second direction.
