Abstract: A multifocal diffractive lens is provided which achieves efficient use of light. The multifocal diffractive lens 100 includes a diffraction grating 1c. Negative-order light L2 produces a focal point f2 for far vision and 0-order light L1 produces a focal point f1 nearer to that for far vision. The number of focal points is two or more. The focal position fc for far vision in polychromatic performance evaluation is located nearer to the multifocal diffractive lens than the focal position fs for far vision in monochromatic performance evaluation.

Abstract: This invention provides a simple analysis method by a PCR method that simultaneously performs, in a single container, separating nucleic acid of pathogens contained in a tissue fragment and preparing a PCR buffer solution, and a kit used for the analysis method. A method for detecting a pathogen includes: (1) obtaining a liquid specimen mixture by adding a tissue fragment containing a pathogen to a PCR buffer solution containing a proteolytic enzyme; (2) heating the liquid specimen mixture at a first temperature; (3) further heating at a second temperature; (4) performing PCR by adding a portion of the liquid mixture obtained in (3) above to a solid composition for PCR reaction containing DNA polymerase and one or more kinds of PCR primer pair; and (5) detecting a PCR product generated in (4) above.
