Abstract: A capillary array includes multiple capillaries and two holding substrates for arranging the aforementioned multiple capillaries in a substantially plane surface by sandwiching at least some of these capillaries mutually. One of the holding substrates has a detection window for transmitting the detected light emitted by a test sample by irradiation of light. Especially, this detection window includes multiple light transmission areas provided to correspond to each capillary to transmit the detected light, and light cut-off areas provided between these light transmission areas to cut off the detected light. These light cut-off areas cut off light reflected from the surface of capillaries and hence improve the SN ratio, thereby ensuring high-precision detection.

Abstract: A method for preparing a copper-containing hydrogenation reaction catalyst includes the step of reducing a formed precursor of a copper-containing hydrogenation reaction catalyst with hydrogen gas or a mixture of hydrogen and inert gas by liquid phase reduction in a stream of a solvent. The reductive activation is carried out by the two steps of performing the first stage of liquid phase reduction by which the catalyst precursor is activated in the temperature range of from 20.degree. to 140.degree. C. so that at least 10% by weight of the copper oxide contained in the catalyst precursor can be reduced by the time when the temperature passes 140.degree. C., and then performing the second stage of liquid phase reduction by which the catalyst precursor is further activated in the temperature range of from 140.degree. to 250.degree. C. The catalyst thus obtained has markedly improved catalytic activity and selectivity.

Abstract: A thermally sensitive recording head comprising, a two bases 2 moving with its attitude being kept along a guide shaft 5, an attachment 3 rotatably provided on the base 2 so that the base 2 extends to an right angle direction with the guide shaft 5 and contacts on or separates from a platen 8, and a heating head 4, which is rotatably provided on the attachment 3, and on front surface of which a heating body train is formed in a right angle direction with the guide shaft 5 and extends in opposite direction to an extending direction of the attachment 3 from the tip end of the attachment 3 to contact on or separate from the platen 8, whereby the attachment 3 and the heating head 4 are pressed on the thermally Sensitive paper placed on back-side of the platen 8. In this arrangement, a clear image can be obtained without generation of irregularity of photographic density because the heating head 4 presses the thermally sensitive papers while being kept always in parallel with the platen 8.
