Patent number: 11869166Abstract: A microscope system comprising an eyepiece, an objective that guides light from a sample to the eyepiece, a tube lens that is disposed on a light path between the eyepiece and the objective and forms an optical image of the sample on the basis of light therefrom, a projection apparatus that projects a projection image including a first assistance image onto an image plane on which the optical image is formed, and a processor that performs processes. The processes include generating projection image data representing the projection image. The first assistance image is an image of the sample in which a region wider than an actual field of view corresponding to the optical image is seen, The first assistance image is projected onto a portion of the image plane that is close to an outer edge of the optical image.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Evident CorporationInventors: Tatsuo Nakata, Akifumi Kabeya, Takashi Yoneyama, Hiroshi Sasaki

Publication number: 20090213445Abstract: An optical scanning device according to an embodiment of the present invention has a support spring composed of S-shaped leaf springs. The support spring is bent at the middle, providing an L-shaped spring, which is composed of two independently working components. One component dominantly biases the scanning mirror body. The other component dominantly swings the scanning mirror body. So configured, the support spring restricts a motion of the shaft around which the scanning mirror body swings, and biases the scanning mirror body onto the shaft and inhibits the body from moving in the axial direction of the shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2008Publication date: August 27, 2009Applicant: Olympus CorporationInventor: Akifumi Kabeya

Patent number: 6920343Abstract: The present invention provides a mobile information terminal apparatus, wherein a power supply terminal formed from a wire having elasticity, in which an electrode contact section is provided between two twisted coil springs, is brought into contact with an electrode of a battery so that feeding is carried out. This realizes a terminal, which does not easily reach the yield point against the degree of deformation caused by an impact with use of its characteristics provided from the wire material, in which the degree of a change in spring force is small against movement of the battery, and which has an excellent following-up property. Accordingly, the mobile information terminal apparatus according to the invention prevents interruption of feeding, or contact failure, etc. caused by an external impact, etc. from occurring therein.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2002Date of Patent: July 19, 2005Assignee: Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tatsuyuki Uemura, Akifumi Kabeya, Toshimasa Akagi, Takashi Suzuki, Hideki Okuyama
