  • Publication number: 20230296882
    Abstract: A motorized correction collar system includes: an attachment portion; a control unit that controls transmission of force to a correction collar ring of a first objective lens attached to the attachment portion; and a storage unit that stores calibration information at least for each type of objective lens with a correction collar. The control unit acquires calibration information corresponding to the first objective lens from among the calibration information stored in the storage unit, and calibrates the correction collar of the first objective lens based on the calibration information.

  • Patent number: 11611722
    Abstract: A microscope system is provided with a microscope that acquires images at least at a first magnification and a second magnification higher than the first magnification, and a processor. The processor is configured to specify a type of a container in which a specimen is placed, and when starting observation of the specimen placed in the container at the second magnification, the processor is configured to specify a map region corresponding to a map image constructed by stitching together a plurality of second images acquired by the microscope at a higher magnification than the first magnification by performing object detection according to the type of the container on a first image that includes the container acquired by the microscope at the first magnification, and cause a display unit to display the first image and a range of the map region on the first image.

  • Patent number: 9476330
    Abstract: An electromagnetic valve driver, in normal operation, supplies peak current from a capacitor to a coil of an injector by turning ON a transistor on a downstream side of the coil and a discharge transistor that discharges electricity from the capacitor to the coil. Thereafter, the driver supplies constant current to the coil by an ON-OFF control of a transistor disposed between a battery and an upstream side of the coil until an end of the electricity supply period. When an open failure of the discharge transistor is detected, the driver controls the current to prevent a voltage rise of the capacitor to reduce flyback energy collected from a downstream side of the coil by the capacitor based on a transistor OFF timing delay scheme, in which an OFF timing of a transistor is delayed by a preset delay time from a normal OFF timing thereof.
