PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a specimen holder capable of performing three-axis drive for three-dimensional analysis for a transmission electron microscope.SOLUTION: A specimen holder capable of performing three-axis drive for three-dimensional analysis for a transmission electron microscope can perform observation with high accuracy from more than three directions in order to analyze a single specimen or the complex internal structure. The specimen holder can rotate a cradle to support the specimen, and can three-dimensionally analyze the specimen more accurately by freely changing the direction of the specimen so that the cradle can move back and forth and from side to side.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a moon grid specialized for three-dimensional observation by a transmission electron microscope which can effectively obtain three-dimensional images without perfoming a separate mark-attachment process. SOLUTION: There is provided a moon grid 100 specialized for three-dimensional observation by a transmission electron microscope, and its manufacturing method, wherein the moon grid includes a sheet mesh 110 for protecting an upper structure, and a support film 120 equipped on the sheet mesh 110 and containing nanoparticles 130 dispersed. The moon grid 100 simplifies the conventional sample preparation process for three-dimensional observation, and allows for effective observation. The marks are provided before a sample is attached. As a result, in the case where the sample is an amorphous sample, a medical and biological sample, and a chemical sample, the grid, different from conventional grids, can solve a problem that the attachment of the marks is difficult and three-dimensional images can hardly be obtained in the conventional grids.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of improving signals by changing voltage applied to an analysis trap of a high resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (FT-ICRMS) according to measurement stages, and in details, provide a method in which independent voltage different from a trap electrode is applied on an electrode added to the center part of the trap electrode after ions are activated and this is maintained until one measurement cycle is over. SOLUTION: When the method is applied, stability of ions confined in the trap becomes higher and a measured time region signal becomes longer. As for the time region signal that becomes longer, resolution and sensitivity of frequency or the region signal of a mass/charge ratio are enhanced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hybrid ion transmitting device for enhancing transmission efficiency of an RF ion transmitting tube to which a gate valve is attached by using an electrostatic lens. SOLUTION: This hybrid ion transmitting device for enhancing detection sensitivity and resolution by using an electrostatic lens ion transmitting tube in the front, enabling use of a gate valve in the middle, and using an RF ion transmitting tube having good transmission efficiency in a high electric field in the back can be manufactured by combination of the electrostatic lens and the RF ion transmitting tube. That is, the hybrid ion transmitting device has a structure in which the electrostatic lens for transmitting injected ions and applying a voltage so that the ions can be focused on the center of the ion transmitting direction axis and the RF ion transmitting tube connected to the electrostatic lens to pass the ions focused on the center of the ion transmitting direction axis are connected through the gate valve. By this structure, the ion transmission efficiency is enhanced, and signal attenuation caused by collision with surrounding neutral gas is suppressed as much as possible by providing a stable vacuum state, and the hybrid ion transmitting device can enhance detection sensitivity and resolution thereby.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a probe unit for nuclear magnetic resonance for detecting characteristics and spatial distribution of a fluid with temporal variation. SOLUTION: The probe unit for nuclear magnetic resonance is disclosed. The probe unit includes an outer conductor of a cylinder type, a central conductor of a cylinder type disposed at the center inside the outer conductor, and a flow passage guiding a flow of a fluid outside the central conductor. A sense magnetic field in a radial direction is formed by applying an RF current between the outer conductor and the central conductor. Thus, the fluid flows along the flow passage, and characteristic variation due to reaction of the concurrently flowing fluid and variation of the spatial distribution of a fluid component with the lapse of time can be detected in real-time.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a relaxation oscillator using a spin element. SOLUTION: A relaxation oscillator includes a power source for supplying power, a spin element driven by power supplied by the power source, and a capacitor connected to the spin element in parallel. The spin element has a variable voltage value which varies, depending on the intensity of a magnetic field. The capacitor discharges when the spin element has a minimum voltage value for a critical voltage range and charges, when the spin element has a maximum voltage value of the critical voltage range. Thus, the relaxation oscillator reduces the number of parts required for manufacture, simplifies circuits, and reduces manufacturing costs and power consumption. Consequently, the relaxation oscillator has effects that a wide range of frequency bands can be adjusted, a scope of activity is wide, and a high output is attained by using magnetization inversion.
