Abstract:
A measuring device (100) comprising a cofocal-point optical microscope (110), an excitation light source unit (130) that emits an excitation light for generating fluorescence from a fluorescent material, and a light receiving unit (140). The cofocal-point optical microscope (110) has an excitation light input port (112) for capturing an excitation light from the excitation light source unit (130), and an output port (113) for outputting fluorescence generated by an excitation light. The light receiving unit (140) has an input unit (141) for capturing a signal light including fluoresence from the microscope (110). The input unit (141) of the light receiving unit (140) is optically connected to the output port (113) of the microscope (110) via an optical fiber (153).
Abstract:
Onto a surface of an Al x Ga y In 1-x-y As z P 1-z (0¤x, y, z¤1) layer including GaAs alone or an InP substrate, an electron beam controlled to an arbitrary electron beam diameter and current density is irradiated so as to selectively substitute or generate Ga 2 O 3 for a natural oxide layer formed on the Al x Ga y In 1-x-y As z P 1-z layer surface, then the Al x Ga y In 1-x-y As z P 1-z layer surface is dry-etched by a bromide in single atomic layer units, whereby the natural oxide layer other than the part substituted by the Ga 2 O 3 and Al x Ga y In 1-x-y As z P 1-z substrate are removed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To grasp various movements or changes of a target specimen by performing a focus control of high precision in an optical axis direction corresponding to a plurality of focuses. SOLUTION: The biomolecule analyzer is equipped with an image acquiring means (29) for acquiring an image containing the three-dimensional region corresponding to at least one observation region of a biological specimen (S) containing a biomolecule, an arranging means (20 or 25) for arranging a measuring point on an arbitrary position on the three-dimensional region in the image of the specimen acquired by the image acquiring means, a measuring means (10a and 10b) for measuring the signal originating from the dynamic data of a substance to be measured obtained from the measuring point arranged by the arranging means through an object lens (5) and an analyzing-means (20) for analyzing the result measured by the measuring means. In the arranging means, the measuring point is arranged at an arbitrary position in an optical direction by the movement of the predetermined lens arranged on the optical axis of the object lens in the optical direction.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a measuring apparatus for appropriately coping with fluorescent measurement, where conditions differ diversely. SOLUTION: The measuring apparatus comprises a photodetecting apparatus 6 for detecting intensity in fluorescence from a sample 9 for varying photoreception sensitivity for outputting light intensity values; a statistical analysis apparatus 7 for statistically analyzing the light intensity values detected by the photodetecting apparatus 6; and a photoreception sensitivity setting apparatus 10 for outputting photoreception sensitivity setting values for setting the photoreception sensitivity of the photodetecting apparatus 6. The photoreception sensitivity setting values of the photoreception sensitivity setting apparatus 10 are determined so that the photoreception sensitivity of the photodetecting apparatus 6 becomes optimum depending on measuring conditions.
