Abstract: An ultrasonic-wave irradiation unit capable of reducing erosion and cleaning unevenness on a diaphragm and improving the joining strength of an ultrasonic transducer to the diaphragm includes a diaphragm, an ultrasonic transducer, a front-side resonating member, and a rear-side resonating member. A stud bolt protrudes from the non-radiation surface of the diaphragm. The transducer front plate of the ultrasonic transducer is joined to the non-radiation surface. The front-side resonating member is joined to the non-radiation surface and the bolt is inserted therethrough. The rear-side resonating member is provided at the tip of the bolt to fasten and secure the front-side resonating member. End-positioned resonators, mid-positioned resonators, and the ultrasonic transducer are arranged in a column. The rear-side resonating member of the end-positioned resonator is formed from a metal material with higher bending rigidity than the front-side resonating member.

Abstract: A calculation method, an image-capturing method, and an image-capturing apparatus are provided which can easily calculate a shear amount produced by an optical element arranged on an optical path of an interference optical system. A calculation method according to the present disclosure is a calculation method of calculating a shear amount produced by a predetermined optical element which is arranged on an optical path of an image-capturing optical system. The calculation method includes a step of capturing an interference contrast image of a quadric surface included in an object surface by the image-capturing optical system, a step of measuring a fringe interval of interference fringes included in the interference contrast image, and a step of calculating the shear amount based on a constant in a formula expressing the quadric surface and the fringe interval.
