The cell culture apparatus with temperature monitoring function according to claim 5, wherein the step 5 is specifically that the computer CPU compares the current cell culture temperature determined in the step 4 with the standard temperature range of the cultured cells, if the current cell culture temperature is lower than the lowest threshold value of the standard temperature range of the cultured cells, the computer CPU turns on the image sensor (5), and the cell culture temperature is raised by heating the chip in the image sensor (5) until the cell culture temperature belongs to the standard temperature range of the cultured cells; if the current cell culture temperature is higher than the highest threshold value of the standard temperature range of the cultured cells, the flow rate of the cell culture solution is accelerated by the micropump so that the cell culture temperature is reduced until the cell culture temperature belongs to the standard temperature range of the cultured cells.
