Abstract
A device for analyzing cell morphology and a method for identifying cells are provided. A digital camera photographs a cell image of a blood sample under a low-magnification objective lens. A processor identifies and positions suspected cells of preset type in the cell image to obtain an identification result. Based on the identification result and a target number, the processor determines a number of suspected cells of preset type to be identified and positioned under the low-magnification objective lens. The digital camera further photographs, under a high-magnification objective lens, the suspected cells of preset type identified and positioned, and then the processor identifies whether the suspected cells of preset type photographed are cells of preset type, to count the number of cells of preset type photographed under the high-magnification objective lens and obtain a statistical value. If the statistical value≥the target number, photographing is stopped.
