    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting biological activity within a sample are disclosed. The present invention provides a combination of a first and a second infrared light source arranged on the side of a sample vial, and a first and a second narrow-band infrared detector similarly arranged on the side of the vial approximately opposite the sources. The disclosed arrangement cancels the sources of error while measuring the carbon dioxide content of the headspace gas above the sample. In operation, the present invention sequentially measures the photocurrents generated at each detector with no source turned on, with the first source turned on, and with the second source turned on and the first source turned off. The C0 2 absorption coefficient of the vial headspace gas is then calculated based on the photocurrents measured. This present invention allows compensation for source aging, detector aging, and vial wall thickness changes. Moreover, the present invention permits a determination of the absolute absorption coefficient at a selected wavelength, most preferably about 4.26 µm, which is the C0 2 absorption characteristic wavelength. The determination of the absolute C0 2 concentration within the headspace permits the detection of bacterial growth processes. Additionally, the disclosed source/detector combination can be produced at low cost. Thus, in preferred embodiments, the apparatus of the present invention comprises a plurality of vials that are simultaneously monitored by providing each of the plurality of vials with its own source/detector combination and activating and deactivating the sources and detectors using a multiplexer/demultiplexer arrangement.

    Abstract: A l'aide d'un générateur laser de raie très fine P o et par excitation d'une raie d'absorption R de l'oxygène moléculaire, on provoque un rayonnement rétrodiffusé, on mesure les énergies rétrodiffusées à deux distances différentes, on détermine le rapport de ces énergies, on en déduit un coefficient d'absorption, fonction de la température et de la densité moléculaire d'oxygène et, ayant déterminé la température de l'air, on calcule la densité et donc la pression. On excite une raie d'absorption R appartenant à une bande de Schumann-Runge de l'oxygène moléculaire et la raie d'absorption R est très large par rapport au spectre de diffusion Rayleigh.

    Abstract: An image acquisition device according to the present disclosure includes a lighting system and an irradiation direction decision section. In a module, a subject and an imaging element are integrally formed. The lighting system sequentially irradiates the subject with illumination light in a plurality of different irradiation directions based on the subject such that the illumination light transmitted through the subject is incident on the imaging element. The module acquires a plurality of images according to the plurality of different irradiation directions. Before the plurality of images are acquired according to the plurality of different irradiation directions, the irradiation direction decision section decides the plurality of different irradiation directions based on a difference between a first preliminary image and a second preliminary image. The first preliminary image is acquired when the subject is irradiated with first illumination light in a first irradiation direction, and the second preliminary image is acquired when the subject is irradiated with second illumination light in a second irradiation direction.
