A single-cell operation supporting robot for supporting a single-cell
operation work with multi-purposes by carrying out a work which an
operator himself/herself carries out difficultly, according to the
indication of the operator. The robot is equipped with a microscope 1,
multi-micro well 4 for storing cells and a single-cell stimulating device
5 which are respectively provided on the stage 1a of the microscope 1, a
sample injection transportation means 7 which transports a glass
capillary 6 for injecting a sample into the single-cell relatively to and
from the multi-microwell 4 and an automatic stage 2, a cell
transportation device 9 which transports a glass capillary 8 for holding
the single-cell relatively to and from each well of the multi-microwell
4, the single-cell stimulating device 5 and the glass capillary 6, a
microscopic spectral measurement device 10 which is combined with the
microscope 1, computers 11 and 12 which automatically control an
actuation of at least one among the microscope 1, the sample injection
transportation device 7, the cell transportation device 9, the automatic
stage 2, the single-cell stimulating device 5 and the microscopic
spectral measurement device 10, and a manual operation device 17 which
inputs signals to the computers 11 and 12 based on an operation by an
operator and actuates the microscope and the like.
