Abstract: A diagnostic optical microscope according to the present embodiment includes at least one laser light source (11) configured to generate laser light for illuminating a sample (40) containing a light absorbing material, a lens configured to focus the laser light to be focused on the sample (40), scanning means for changing a focusing position of the laser light on the sample (40), and a light detector (31) configured to detect laser light transmitted through the sample (40) as signal light. A laser light intensity is changed to obtain a nonlinear region in which the laser light intensity and a signal light intensity have a nonlinear relation due to occurrence of saturation of absorption in the light absorbing material when the laser light intensity is maximized. An image is generated based on a nonlinear component of the signal light based on the saturation of absorption in the light absorbing material.

Abstract: A terminal used in a connector includes a base portion that is retained in a housing, and a front terminal and a rear terminal that extend from the base portion. A front terminal is provided with a front contact portion that comes in contact with a mating terminal through a flat plate surface of the front contact portion, and a rear terminal is provided with a rear contact portion that comes in contact with a terminal of a mating connector through a flat plate surface of the rear contact portion. The front contact portion and the rear contact portion are arranged at the same position in a width direction.

Abstract: At least one of a socket connector and a plug connector includes movable parts configured to elastically deform such that socket contact portions or plug contact portions at normal contact positions can be displaced in mating and unmating directions of the socket connector and the plug connector. A displacement load for displacement of the movable parts in the mating and unmating directions is set smaller than a load for positional displacement of at least the socket contact portions or the plug contact portions from the normal contact positions in the mating and unmating directions.
