Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for enabling a user of a personal computer, a television, or the like to relieve his or her fatigue without difficulties. The present invention provides a fatigue relief supporting apparatus wherein the apparatus has image generating means for generating an image of a predetermined object which shuttles on a screen of an image display device in a horizontal direction and displaying the object image on the screen of the image display device, and wherein the user looks down to follow the object image with the user's eyes to relieve the user's fatigue.

Abstract: A tip 14 is rotatably attached to a tip holder 10. The tip holder 10 is made into a cylindrical shape and its end has an installation part 16. An opening is arranged at a holder joint. The tip holder 10 is attracted by a magnet for attachment so that detaching and attaching can be performed easily. Tip offset data is recorded as a 2-dimensional code 17 on the surface of the tip holder 10. When replacing the tip holder, the offset data is read out and inputted to a scribe device, thereby canceling the offset. This eliminates the operation required for correction when attaching/detaching the tip holder and enables easy tip replacement during a short time of device stop.

Abstract: To provide a camera that is suited to shoot both a demagnified image and a magnified image. The camera includes a housing body 11 containing a CCD 15, and a lens barrel 12. An abutted member 20 having an objective lens 40 therein is engaged with the lens barrel 12 and a rotatable manually-controlled member 30 is fitted around that lens barrel. The abutted member 20 moves back and forth in the direction of an optical axis K in response to the rotation of the manually-controlled member 30. A user can move the abutted member 20 and the objective lens 40 back and forth by controlling the manually-controlled member 30. A magnified image can be photographed with the manually-controlled member 30 at its advanced position while a demagnified image can be photographed with the manually-controlled member 30 at its retracted position. The focal point of the objective lens 40 falls on the center of an end of the abutted member 20 located at the position for shooting a magnified image.

Abstract: A camera that is able to capture images of moving subjects as video images, that has a large depth of field and is thus able to capture images of thick objects, and that is able to capture images of living cells and tissues as well as tissues in water. One example includes an image pickup element and an objective lens disposed between the image pickup element and a subject. A photosensitive surface of the image pickup element has elements sensitive to light in the red, green, and blue spectral regions. Using chromatic aberration of the objective lens to form an image, the respective elements sensitive to light from the red, green and blue spectral region, collect light from respective surface segments XR, XG, and XB that lie at different heights in the subject. The images taken by the respective elements are imaged individually and produced on a monitor.
