Publication number: 20180013971Abstract: An observation system includes: a plurality of imaging sections to image one or more samples; a plurality of driving mechanisms that respectively move the imaging sections to change an imaging position for the samples; and a control circuit that controls operations of the driving mechanisms and the imaging sections to cause the imaging sections to image the samples, while causing the driving mechanisms to respectively move the imaging sections. The control circuit imposes different limitations on movement patterns of the imaging sections depending on a characteristic of the samples.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2017Publication date: January 11, 2018Applicant: OLYMPUS CORPORATIONInventors: Hideaki MATSUOTO, Osamu NONAKA

Patent number: 8976255Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a first and a second imaging unit, a clipping unit, an image processing control unit. The first imaging unit is provided on a front face of an apparatus main body. The second imaging unit is provided on a back face of the apparatus main body. The clipping unit clips image data of the second main subject from the second acquired image data. The image processing control unit combines the first acquired image data with the image data of the second main subject clipped by the clipping unit to meet combining conditions determined by the first image data.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2012Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Olympus Imaging Corp.Inventors: Hideaki Matsuoto, Osamu Nonaka, Kenichi Horie, Kensei Ito, Yoshiyuki Fukuya

Patent number: 6574434Abstract: In a camera to which the present invention is applied, a camera body having a pop-up ST unit attached thereto is sandwiched between front and back covers. A plugged rubber arranged inside the back cover is pressed by a front cover rib provided on the front cover in the state in which the front and back covers are joined to each other, whereby the front and back covers are kept liquid-tight to each other. Moreover, an ST rubber arranged on the periphery of the ST body is pressed by the front cover rib in the state in which the ST body is sandwiched between the front and back covers, whereby the front cover, the back cover, and the ST body are kept liquid-tight to one another. Simultaneously, the ST rubber is pressed by a cover rib provided on the back cover, whereby the back cover and the ST body are kept liquid-tight to each other. Thus, the water-proofing function can be secured among the three members, that is, the front cover, the back cover, and the ST body.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2001Date of Patent: June 3, 2003Assignee: Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideaki Matsuoto, Toshifumi Nakano, Takashi Muroi

Patent number: 6433986Abstract: An electrical board is provided which includes a switch pattern disposed in a device or apparatus such as a camera, for example, for receiving an operation input in response to an operation from the exterior, and a connection land portion formed to be continuous with the switch pattern. Further, an electrical board device is provided which uses first electrical board as a first electrical board, and which further includes a second electrical board having a different switch pattern formed in a position different from the switch pattern of the first electrical board and connected to the connection land portion of the first electrical board. Thus, devices having different external appearances can be attained even if the devices require the same specification, and the board space can be efficiently used and the board itself can be made small.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2000Date of Patent: August 13, 2002Assignee: Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideaki Matsuoto, Tatsuya Suzuki, Tatsuo Takanashi
