1. An image processing device comprising a processor configured to:
analyze an image of cells cultured within a culture container and acquire the number of cell divisions experienced by each cell in the image;
calculate a statistical value indicating differentiation potency of each cell in the image based on the number of cell divisions acquired by analyzing the image, the differentiation potency being an ability of each cell in the image to be changed into different types of cells and the number of cell divisions being how many times each cell in the image has experienced division, and
create a frequency distribution of the number of cell divisions, and the statistical value represents a bias in the frequency distribution.
