Abstract: A configuration is provided in which outside air is taken as a carrier gas into a carrier gas flow path (A, B). A CO2 sensor (specific gas detection sensor) (71) for detecting a CO2 gas desorbed from a sample is installed in a component gas detector (70). A CO2 sensor (air-containing specific gas detection sensor) (54) for detecting a CO2 gas contained in air taken into the carrier gas flow path by a blower fan (51) is installed separately. A CO2 gas detection amount detected by the air-containing specific gas detection sensor (54) is subtracted from a CO2 gas detection amount detected by the specific gas detection sensor (71) to calculate a detection amount of the CO2 gas desorbed from the sample.

Abstract: A thermal analysis apparatus includes circuitry for displaying a graph of the thermal analysis data relating to temperature or time on a display displaying a sample image on the display, generating color information data of range and type selected from the sample image, displaying a graph of the color information data relating to temperature or time side by side with the graph of the thermal analysis data relating to temperature or time without superimposing both graphs on the display, and displaying a marker at an arbitrary point on one of the graphs and displaying a marker on others of the graphs at a point whose measurement time is synchronized with the point where the marker is displayed.

Abstract: First and second multi-pair thermocouples (21, 22) are formed on the upper surface of a heat-sensitive member (10), and a thermally uniformizing member (30) is adhesively attached to a base portion (11) of the heat-sensitive member (10). The thermally uniformizing member (30) is formed of a heat-resistant and electrically insulating material having a higher thermal conductivity than the heat-sensitive member (10) and a linear expansion coefficient approximate to the linear expansion coefficient of the heat-sensitive member (10). For example, the heat-sensitive member (10) is formed of mullite, and the thermally uniformizing member (30) is formed of aluminum nitride, whereby damage caused by thermal expansion can be prevented and at the same time the base portion (11) of the heat-sensitive member (10) can be thermally uniformalized.
