Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cell aggregation apparatus etc. that can efficiently aggregate proper cells in a short time.SOLUTION: Proper cells in a well 7 are selected by an imaging apparatus 21, and based on the information, the well 7 containing proper cells 13 is irradiated with laser from a laser source 17. When the laser source 17 is used to irradiate laser from above a transparent plate 9, the laser is transmitted through the transparent plate 9 to irradiate an optical absorber 5. The optical absorber 5 absorbs laser beams to generate heat, and a culture solution 23 in the well 7 is heated by this heat to produce micro bubbles. When the microbubbles are produced in the well 7, a gel-like member 11 is broken through by the pressure of the microbubbles, and the cells 13 (and the culture solution) in the well 7 spurt toward a table 15. The cells 13 in an optional location can thereby be taken out onto the table 15 or a culture bed 16.
