  • Publication number: 20240136170
    Abstract: The mass spectrometer includes a sample stage, an irradiation unit that irradiates the sample with an energy beam and ionizes a component of the sample, an extraction electrode that extracts the ionized sample from the surface of the sample by a potential difference from the sample stage, an MCP that emits electrons in accordance with the ionized sample, an imaging part that acquires an image based on the electrons emitted by the MCP, and a control unit that controls operations of the irradiation unit, the extraction electrode, and the imaging part. The control unit changes the potential of the extraction electrode at a timing in accordance with the detection target component after the irradiation of the energy beam by the irradiation unit, and causes the imaging part to acquire an image as an analysis target in a period in accordance with the detection target component.

  • Patent number: 11653837
    Abstract: A light output monitoring apparatus includes a light receiving unit, an attachment unit, an adapter, and a protective cap, and monitors a power of light output from a light emitting end of a catheter incorporating an optical fiber. The protective cap includes an insertion opening into which a part of the catheter of a predetermined range on the light emitting end side is removably inserted, includes a window portion for transmitting the light output from the light emitting end of the catheter, and is fixed in position by being inserted into a through-hole of the adapter. The adapter is fixed in position by being attached to the attachment unit.

  • Patent number: 11389243
    Abstract: A light measurement device measures the intensity of laser light output from a catheter tip end portion of a catheter having a built-in optical fiber. The light measurement device includes a light receiving part which receives the laser light output from the catheter tip end portion and a mounting part which is disposed at a position facing the light receiving part. The mounting part defines a position of a tubular hoop, which accommodates the catheter, with respect to the light receiving part. In a state in which the position of the hoop is defined by the mounting part, the light measurement device obtains the intensity of the laser light by inputting the laser light to the light receiving part.
