Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simply obtain an absolute value when measured from two-dimensional image information of a specimen obtained by a single two-dimensional detector by multiplying both measured and reference image data by a given weight different at a pixel unit at each measuring wavelength and adding the resultant data. SOLUTION: Radiant rays from a specimen 10unk and a reference material 10std having a constant reflectivity from a light source 11 are detected by a two-dimensional detector 21. Then, measured image data D1(unk) to Dn(unk) having wavelengths λ1 to λn are obtained from the sample 10unk, and reference image data D1(std) to Dn(std) are similarly obtained from the material 10std. A given weight is multiplied by both the image data at each different measured wavelength, and the multiplied data are added at each pixel unit. E.g. a calculation (f) multiplies a given weight by different wavelengths of a difference of both the image data D1 to Dm having wavelengths λ1 to λm from both the image data having the wavelengths λ1 to λn, and adds the multiplied data. Two-dimensional information of an absolute value regarding an organism tissue based on it is obtained. Thus, even if the measured image data is changed due to a change in measuring conditions, the reference data of the same change compensates the change in the conditions.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve precision of a signal obtained by each pixel cell by reducing a leak of stored electric charges due to X-ray irradiation. SOLUTION: Each pixel cell 3 uses a P channel MOSFET with an octagonal structure as an MOSFET 13 for a reset switch for initializing the potential of a charge storage portion 12. Even when positive electric charges are stored in a gate oxide film by irradiation with X rays, the P channel MOSFET has no false channel formed right below the gate oxide film and can reduce a leak through a channel as compared with an N channel MOSFET.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the arrangement density of light-receiving elements while reducing a deterioration in the detection sensitivity of the light-receiving elements. SOLUTION: The light-receiving element array comprises a plurality of light-receiving elements 1, each of which has a strip-shaped photoelectric conversion photodiode region PD (a PD region), which are arranged so that their longer sides of the PD regions face each other, and that floating diffusion region FD1 and FD2 for accumulating electric charges, each of which is adjacent to the shorter side of the PD region, are not placed between the light-receiving elements 1 to arrange the light-receiving elements 1 with a shorter arrangement interval, corresponding to the shorter side of the PD region, thus increasing the arrangement density of the light-receiving elements 1. While the shorter side of the strip-shaped PD region is short, the longer side is sufficiently long, to ensure sufficiently large size as the entire PD area, suppressing deterioration in the detection sensitivity of the light-receiving elements 1. The arrangement density of the light-receiving elements 1 can be thus increased, while reducing deterioration in the detection sensitivity of the light-receiving elements 1.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To miniaturize a detection part and a measurement part including a light source even if the number of measurement wavelengths is increased. SOLUTION: This deice is used for irradiating an organism with light, detecting light emitted from the organism by a two-dimensional detector, and providing information on the organism by using a detected image. The device is equipped with an image measuring means and an image computing means. The measuring means measures two-dimensional measurement image data of the organism by means of a plurality of measurement wavelengths. The computing means performs on a pixel-by-pixel basis, computations in which the measurement image data and reference image data found by means of the wavelengths same as the measurement wavelengths are multiplied by prescribed weights different for different wavelengths and added together to compute two-dimensional information on the tissue of the organism. The measuring means is provided with a light source part 2 for emitting each of the plurality of different wavelengths on a time sharing basis. By making the source part 2 emit each of the plurality of different wavelengths on a time sharing basis, the plurality of different wavelengths are outputted individually on the light source side.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform measurement of a number of specimens or a number of parts on one specimen quickly using a single unit of photo measuring device and prevent incidence of an external turbulent light into the light receiving part of a probe even in the multiple measuring. SOLUTION: A photo-measuring device is equipped with a probe 2 fitted in a single piece with a light projecting part to cast light onto a specimen and a light receiving part to receive the light diffused within the specimen, a supporting part 5 which puts the light projecting part and receiving part in contact with the specimen and supports them by means of grasping the probe, and a light shutoff part 3 which hinders an external turbulent light from being incident to the prove, at least to its light receiving part, whereby measuring is made upon pressing the probe to the specimen by grasping it, and after removal, another measuring point is measured, and in this manner, a number of specimens or a number of parts on one specimen are made measurable in a short time when incidence of external turbulent light to the light receiving part of the probe is well prevented. Thus inclusion of a measuring error originating from turbulent light is precluded, and also a measuring error associated with a movement of the measuring point precluded, and it is made practicable to measure a number of specimens or a number of parts on one specimen in a short period of time.
