Abstract
In the field of life science, micromanipulation technology has been contributing to the research such as cloning. However, it is difficult to manipulate cells manually. Therefore, automated cell manipulation has been required. All-in-Focus imaging system was applied to realize automated cell manipulation. However, the success rate depended on the error of All-in-Focus image. In this paper, automated cell grasping system which uses reaction force data from cell and cell's position data from All-in-Focus image is described. By measuring reaction force from the micro force sensor, this system corrects the error of All-in-Focus image, thus, stable automated cell grasping is realized.
