PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an optimum signal intensity level even if light reception/ transmission conditions such as a light transmission section, a light reception section, or an area between light transmitted/received light differs in a photometric apparatus having a plurality of light transmission points and a plurality of light reception points. SOLUTION: The photometric apparatus that applies light to a specimen and measures light that is discharged to the outside after light is transmitted or reflected in the inside of the specimen comprises a light transmission/reception means 2 having a plurality of light transmission sections for applying light having one or a plurality of wavelengths to the specimen and a plurality of light reception sections for receiving light that is radiated from the specimen, a plurality of amplifiers 4 for amplifying each of measured signals that are measured by each light reception section, and/or a plurality of attenuation means 8 for attenuating each light intensity that is applied to each light reception section. During measurement, each amplification factor in the amplification means and/or each attenuation rate in the attenuation means are changed. An optimum signal strength level is obtained by changing each amplification factor in the amplification means and each attenuation rate in the attenuation means according to light transmission/reception conditions that change during measurement.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a measuring apparatus, for the reflection of light, by which information on a deep part inside an object to be inspected can be measured by using light in a wavelength region having a small penetration depth and by which a component in an organism such as fat, protein, sugar or the like absorbed in a wavelength region of 1000 to about 2500 nm is detected more precisely. SOLUTION: A measuring apparatus is provided with an irradiation part A in which reflected light from the irradiated part of a sample S is not made incident on a detector, in which only light radiated after it is passed through the inside of the sample S so as to be scattered is used as detecting light, in which a deep part can be measured, in which a component in an organism such as fat, protein, sugar or the like absorbed in a wavelength region of 1000 to about 2500 nm can be detected more precisely and in which the sample S is irradiated with light, a detection part B which detects light from the sample S and a light shielding part C which is installed between the irradiation part A and the detection part B. The light shielding part C shields reflected light which is directly incident on the detection part B from the surface of the sample S, and the detection part B detects only scattered light from the inside of the sample S radiated from the surface of the sample S on a side different from the irradiation part A with reference to the light shielding part C.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To eliminate the influence of the motion of a testee body by detecting the motion of the testee body during the operating time of a tomographic device, and subjecting the motion of an operating means to the correction by the motion of the testee body in real time. CONSTITUTION:The noncorrected positions (d), phi of a ray source P and a sensor D are the positions when the positions of the testee body M can be expressed by (X0, Y0, theta0) and, therefore, these positions are corrected by (X-X0, Y-Y0, theta0). The correction of the angle position phi can be executed simply by subtracting the rotation (theta-theta0) of the testee body M therefrom and the corrected angle position is phi-(theta-theta0). Since the displacement position in the beam direction of the testee body M does not affect the result, the position d' obtd. by subtracting the component of the direction perpendicular to the beam in the angle position phi-(theta-theta0) of the displacement vector (X-X0, Y-Y0) at the center of the testee body M from the value (d) is the position on the guide of the ray source P and the sensor D. The angle position phi of the operating device and the position (d) on the guide of the ray source P and the sensor D are corrected at every sampling of the output of the sensor D in such a manner.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To radiograph an RI distribution image of a specimen with full sensitivity. SOLUTION: In this nuclear medicine diagnosis device, before radiographing the RI distribution image, a first C-shaped arm member 5 on which a first γ-ray detector 1 is mounted by an arm member moving mechanism 7 and a second C-shaped arm member 6 on which a second γ-ray detector 2 is mounted thereby are moved in the direction wherein both arm members 5, 6 are brought close, to thereby bring the first and second both γ-ray detectors 1, 2 close to the specimen M. Each tilt angle of the first and second both γ-ray detectors 1, 2 is changed by a detector angle adjusting mechanism 8, to acquire each γ-ray detection attitude. Hereby, the RI distribution image is radiographed, in a state where the first and second both γ-ray detectors 1, 2 are brought sufficiently close to the specimen M, beforehand. As a result, since the number of γ-rays entering γ-ray incident faces 1A, 2A of the first and second both γ ray detectors 1, 2 is increased during radiographing of the RI distribution image, detection sensitivity of the γ-rays is enhanced, and the RI distribution image of the specimen can be radiographed with full sensitivity.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow measurement by a different distance between transmission/reception terminals, and to densify measuring points to obtain a uniform data distribution, in distribution measurement in a projection plane. SOLUTION: In a means for measuring a plane distribution projected in a measuring objective area by arranging the plurality of transmission terminals and reception terminals plane-likely to measure signals propagated through a measuring object between the transmission terminal and the reception terminal, transmission/reception are conducted using combination of the transmissions terminal and the reception terminals different in the distance between transmission/reception terminals, and a signal different in a propagation distance is detected from the reception terminal. A measured value of the different distance between transmission/reception terminals is thereby acquired in the projected plane in the measuring objective area. The arrangement of the measuring points within the measuring objective area is densified to obtain a uniform data, by combining the plurality of different distances between transmission/reception terminals.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain measurement data by performing one or a plurality of task measurements in accordance with the reaction of a testee without depending on predetermined measurement procedures in optical bioinstrumentation measurements. SOLUTION: Light obtained from an organism by light irradiation is measured, and the measured data are recorded during the measurements. When each of measurement tasks occurs, the task occurrence time of this measurement task is recorded in relation with a task class. The recorded measured data are extracted by using the task class or task occurrence time as an extraction index. When extracting the measured data of a prescribed task class, for example, the task occurrence time is found with the task class as an extraction index and further, the measured data corresponding to this task occurrence time are extracted with this time as an extraction index. Thus, the measurements can be performed without predetermining the measurement procedures of the task measurements and the measured data of the prescribed task class can be extracted.
