- debris 464 and 465 having no area and debris 463 having an area exist in the spot region 462 inside the spot boundary 461.
- the debris 464, 465 that do not have an area is removed at this stage because it is clear that it is debris.
- debris 463 having an area is located in spot region 462 inside spot boundary 461 and does not intersect spot boundary 461, and thus is not removed in step S 114 in FIG.
- an arbitrary determination target point in the spot area is an internal point or an external point in the debris area. That is, if the debris boundary does not have a force or intersection that has one intersection with the outermost boundary of the background image, the spot area is checked from any point on the outermost boundary of the background image other than the debris boundary. If a straight line is drawn to any of the target points and the number of intersections with the debris boundary is counted, if the count value is an even number, the target point will be a point outside the debris area and the count value will be an odd number. For example, the target point can be determined as a point inside the debris area.
- the dividing unit 441 draws a straight line up to the target point for the predetermined outer force, and recognizes that the target point is in the debris area when the number of intersections with the debris boundary becomes an odd number. . However, when the straight line and the debris boundary meet, the contact is not counted as an intersection.

Therefore, in this case, the straight line 503 intersects the debris boundary at five points. In this case, the point 483A is determined to be an inner point of the debris 481 because the number of intersections is five and odd. FIG.
- the spot area 462 has a spot boundary 461 in FIG. 28 and is divided into an in-spot area 522 including a force debris 463 and an in-spot area 521 not including debris.
- the reliability calculation unit 442 calculates a hybrid value and a reliability in units of spot areas.
- the in-spot area i, the ibridization value ah j (reactivity information) and the reliability in the spot area ar j (reliability information) are expressed as follows.
- i represents the spot number
- j represents the number of the spot in the spot
- k represents the number of pixels in the spot area.

- the fluorescence intensity of the corresponding pixel of the corresponding spot in the second measurement is plotted in a coordinate space in which the horizontal axis is the fluorescence intensity of the first measurement and the vertical axis is the fluorescence intensity of the second measurement. Then, as shown in FIG. 31, the points 701 defined by the fluorescence intensity of the two measurements are scattered around a straight line 702 having an inclination of 45 degrees. Ideally, the corresponding spot Since the fluorescence intensities of the pixels at the same position match, the point 701 is located on the straight line 702. However, in reality, variation occurs, and it is not completely located on the straight line 702 but is distributed in the vicinity thereof.
- the variation in the distribution tends to be small when the fluorescence intensity is relatively small and large.
- the fluorescence intensity with a relatively large dispersion is obtained.
