Patent number: 11698519Abstract: In an image acquisition device, when capturing an optical image of a sample S through lane scanning, the number of tile images T included in a tile image row R acquired in one lane is counted, and a determination is made as to whether or not the number of images reaches a planned acquisition count that is set in advance. In a case where it is determined that the number of images does not reach the planned acquisition count, lane scanning with respect to the lane is re-executed. Accordingly, even when a loss of the tile images T occurs due to an environment load, the tile images T are complemented by re-execution of the lane scanning, and thus it is possible to prevent the loss of the tile images T in an observation image.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2022Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K.Inventors: Akira Takahashi, Takayuki Kawashima, Jinichi Susuki

Patent number: 11639314Abstract: A porous fired granulated body is formed by consolidating numerous alumina particles to each other while letting mainly interconnected pores remain in network form across an entire cross section of a granulated body particle. The pores have an inner diameter controlled by a droplet diameter of a pore forming agent and have numerous precipitated alumina crystals formed on inner surfaces thereof. Manufacture is performed by spraying the pore forming agent (emulsion) onto a raw material to form a coating layer of the pore forming agent on a surface of the raw material particle and controlling the inner diameter of the pores. A porous fired granulated body of alumina having a high specific surface area and having higher strength for the same specific surface area can thus be provided by a simple manufacturing method.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2020Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: Itochu Ceratech CorporationInventors: Akira Takahashi, Junya Shimosato, Takahiko Nakamura, Noriyuki Tamura
