Abstract: A light beam direction control element includes light transmission regions interposed between a first light transmission substrate and a second light transmission substrate, light absorption regions located between the light transmission regions, a light transmission dispersion medium enclosed in the light absorption regions, and electrophoretic particles dispersed in the light transmission dispersion medium. The light transmission regions include a first light transmission region extending from the first light transmission substrate toward the second light transmission substrate, and a second light transmission region extending from the first light transmission region toward the second light transmission substrate. A height of the first light transmission region is lower than a height of the second light transmission region and a width of the first light transmission region is wider than a width of the second light transmission region.

Abstract: A microdevice includes a first substrate; and a second substrate that is joined to the first substrate, and that includes at least one groove that forms at least one microchannel with the first substrate and recesses that form closed spaces with the first substrate. When viewed from above, the closed spaces are disposed sandwiching the least one microchannel.

Abstract: A fluorescent image analyzer stores a reference fluorescent-sample image and a subject fluorescent-sample image. The reference fluorescent-sample image is an image obtained by illuminating a reference fluorescent sample about which relation of in-plane fluorescence intensities is known with linearly polarized light and capturing a first specific polarization component of fluorescence from the reference fluorescent sample. The subject fluorescent-sample image is an image obtained by illuminating a subject fluorescent sample with linearly polarized light and capturing a second specific polarization component of fluorescence from the subject fluorescent sample. The fluorescent image analyzer is configured to determine correction coefficients to correct non-uniformity in measurement of light intensities among pixels of a captured image based on the reference fluorescent-sample image, and correct light intensities of the pixels of the subject fluorescent-sample image based on the correction coefficients.

Abstract: Provided is a support for fluorescence polarization immunoassay of which reaction parts are loaded with an antibody and a fluorescent labeling substance. The plurality of reaction parts may be loaded with different concentrations of an antibody and a fluorescent labeling substance. Further, antibodies having different binding affinities for a target substance may be loaded. With such a support, fluorescence polarizations can be measured simply by adding a sample solution containing a target substance to the reaction parts, and a wide measurement range of the concentration the target substance can be secured.
