    Abstract: A controller of an optical measurement apparatus causes, in a condition that a rotational speed of a rotary body is controlled so that the speed is a specified value, a light source to generate light having a constant intensity and apply the light to an irradiation region, and acquires first timing information based on a change with time of an intensity of reflected light or transmitted light that is output from a second detection unit receiving the reflected light or transmitted light of the applied light. The controller causes the light source to periodically generate pulsed light in accordance with the first timing information and apply the pulsed light to the irradiation region, and acquires second timing information based on a result which is output from the first detection unit whose measurement is periodically enabled in accordance with the first timing information.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a light source that generates light; a light irradiation unit that causes an acoustic wave to be generated from an object by irradiating a light irradiation region on a surface of the object with the light; a reception unit that receives the acoustic wave; an acoustic lens that is disposed such that the reception unit can selectively receive the acoustic wave from a predetermined direction; a moving unit that moves a focal point of the acoustic lens inside the object in an in-plane direction of the light irradiation region; and an acquisition unit that acquires information on a characteristic of the object based on the reception result of the reception unit, wherein the size of the focal point formed by the acoustic lens is smaller than the light irradiation region.

    Abstract: An analytical instrument may have multiple distinct channels. Such may include one or more illumination sources and sensors. Illumination may be delivered to specific locations of a specimen holder, and returned illumination may be delivered to specific locations of a sensor array. Illumination may first pass a specimen, and a mirror or reflector may then return the illumination past the specimen. Optical splitters may be employed to couple pairs of fiber optics proximate a specimen holder. Such channels may further include a plurality of illumination sources positioned on one side of a specimen holder and a plurality of sensors on the other side. The plurality of sensor may capture image of a specimen and a spectrophotometer may concurrently scan the specimen. A plurality of specimens may be imaged and scanned in a single pass of a plurality of passes. Spherical or ball lenses may be placed in an optical path of the illumination to achieve a desired illumination pattern.
