Abstract: This invention provides a standard member allowing magnification calibration for use in an electron microscope to be performed with high precision. A (110) or (100) oriented silicon substrate including a magnification calibration pattern comprised of a constant pitch periodic pattern and a (110) or (100) oriented silicon substrate not including the constant pitch periodic pattern are bonded together by means of bonding without using an adhesive agent, while aligning the plane directions of the surfaces of the two substrates in the same orientation. Then, the thus bonded substrates are cleaved or diced so that their (111) surfaces or (110) surfaces become cross-section surfaces. Further, by selectively etching one side of the constant pitch periodic pattern, a standard member with no level difference and no damage to superlattice patterns and having a constant pitch concavity and convexity periodic pattern in a cross-section surface vertical to the substrate surface is created.

Abstract: A blower is provided with an axial flow impeller 7, a fan motor 8 positioned in a suction side of the axial flow impeller 7, and a motor stay 9 supporting the fan motor 8. The motor stay 9 is substantially formed to have a linear shape and attached in parallel to a rotating surface of the axial flow impeller 7. An impeller blade front edge 17 of the axial flow impeller 7 is positioned in a region X which is closer to the motor stay 9 than a region Y in which an air flow turbulence in a wake flow of the motor stay 9 is expanded, and in which region X a range of the air flow turbulence is reduced. Accordingly, it is possible to inhibit the air flow turbulence in the wake flow of the motor stay 9 from affecting the aerodynamic characteristics and noise characteristics (for example, an increase of an NZ noise) of the axial flow impeller 7.

Abstract: An object of the present invention relates to distinguishing, from a fluorophore of an unreacted substrate, a single fluorophore attached to a nucleotide that is incorporated into a probe by a nucleic acid synthesis. The present invention relates to a nucleic acid analyzing device that analyzes a nucleic acid in sample by fluorescence, wherein a localized surface plasmon is generated by illumination, and a probe for analyzing the nucleic acid in the sample is on the site where the surface plasmon is generated. According to the present invention, since it is possible to efficiently produce fluorescence intensifying effects due to the surface plasmon and to immobilize the probe to a region within the reach of the fluorescence intensifying effects, it becomes possible to measure a nucleic acid synthesis without removing unreacted nucleotide to which fluorophores are attached.
