PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical head driving device that can reduce the influence of resonance mode without impairing actuator sensitivity. SOLUTION: The position in the axial direction of a laser beam 20 that is wound on the side face of the bobbin 12 of a focus coil 13 is set as a position away from the supporting center 15a of a leaf spring 15, in the opposite direction from the side where an objective lens 11 is fixed on the bobbin 12. As a result, the weight balance in the optical axis direction of the laser beam 20 relative to the weight of the objective lens 11 can be maintained without increasing the weight of the movable part 10 in the optical head.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical head in which thermal stress caused by an optical lens attached to a bobbin can be reduced. SOLUTION: The optical head 110 is equipped with the bobbin 10 which is formed with a center hole 10H, and the optical lens 20 which is attached to the bobbin 10 through a thermal expansion relaxing member 40 formed with an opening 40H. The optical lens 20 is provided with a base plate 24A consisting of an optical material whose thermal expansion coefficient is different from that of the bobbin 10. The base plate 24A is provided with a projected part 21 having the function of a convex lens and with a flat part 22 situated on the periphery of the projected part 21. The flat part 22 is stuck to the thermal expansion relaxing member 40 in a manner that the projected part 21 is fitted to the opening 40H. The optical lens 20 is arranged so that the center axis or its extension of the projected part 21 passes through the center hole 10H of the bobbin 10, while the center axis of the projected part 21 is aligned with that of the center hole 10H of the bobbin 10.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sample liquid feeding apparatus capable of accurately and simply liquid-feeding a sample, and to provide a flow cytometer and a sample tube determination method.SOLUTION: A sample liquid feeding apparatus includes: a light irradiation part 41 for irradiating light; a light detection part 42 for detecting light, a light shielding part for storing a sample tube 22 and shielding light to a side face; and a tube holder 21 having a pair of light transmission parts capable of passing light. Since the tube holder 21 shields light irradiated from the light irradiation part 41 in the sample liquid feeding apparatus, a state that the tube holder 21 is installed on a predetermined position can be grasped. Since the tube holder 21 is rotated until light irradiated from the light irradiation part 41 can pass the tube holder 21, a shape of the sample tube 22 stored in the tube holder 21 can be determined by a rotated angle. The sample liquid feeding apparatus has a mechanism capable of minimizing degeneration of the sample due to heat by agitating the sample during liquid feeding.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control method of a device capable of simply constituting an optical detection system in a microchip type microparticle separation device.SOLUTION: There is provided a control method of a microparticle separation device including a step of changing distance between a microchip in which a flow channel through which fluid is conducted, and an orifice for generating a fluid stream at one end of the flow channel are formed, and an objective lens which condenses and irradiates laser to an upstream part of the orifice of the flow channel. The control method includes the steps of: generating the fluid stream; detecting the generated fluid stream; and changing a relative position between the microchip and the objective lens to move the objective lens to a focal position to the microchip after these procedures.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To align an objective lens focal position with a master disk surface by a return laser beam passing through the objective lens. SOLUTION: When it is determined at a step S12 that focus search is successful, the master disk is positioned in the neighborhood of the focus position of the objective lens. A Z-axis motor is stopped, and an optical pickup stops. Then, at a step S14, limit data stored in memory are rewritten. A position obtained by adding a travel tolerance to the successful focus search position is specified as a safe stop position. The travel tolerance is set smaller than a working distance of the objective lens. When the focus search is not successful, the Z-axis motor is stopped when it is determined that the objective lens has reached a safe stop position. Collision between the master disk 61 and the objective lens 62 can be avoided by the stop. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform control so that the surface of a master disk is positioned near the focus of an objective lens as initial setting when the resist of the master disk is exposed. SOLUTION: An objective lens 62 is vibrated in a Z direction by a sine wave of amplitude 10μm and a frequency 200Hz. When a master disk 61 is moved at a speed of 1 mm/sec., a primary straight line indicating the displacement of the master disk 61 and the displacement of the sine wave intersect each other at a plurality of spots. By monitoring the sum signal of a photodetector, a sum signal is generated in the intersecting period, and the possibility of detecting positioning is increased as compared with a method for not vibrating the objective lens 62. When the sum signal of the photodetector is detected, the z-direction movement of the master disk 61 is stopped to finish a positioning sequence. Then, a focus servo is turned on.
