Abstract
To provide an inexpensive cell incubator for a single cell operation supporting robot having the markers (first and second feature points) required to transform the position of a cell detected on a table coordinate system into a position on the intrinsic coordinate system of the cell incubator. First and second feature points are formed on a film-like feature point setup chip which is then stuck to the cell incubator body such as a conventional dish, thus constituting a cell incubator. Since manufacture of a new die for forming the first and second feature points directly on the cell incubator body is not required, an inexpensive cell incubator for a single cell operation supporting robot can be provided.
