Abstract: A filter for filtering nucleated cells that includes a body containing at least either a metal or a metal oxide as its main component; and plural through holes, each of which have a shape other than a square shape, formed therein. A longitudinal diameter of an inscribed ellipse within each of the through holes is smaller than a size of a nucleus of each of the nucleated cells to be filtered. The inscribed ellipse of the through hole is an ellipse that abuts all sides that define an opening of the through hole.

Abstract: A filter includes a plurality of first through holes which are periodically formed. At least one of the plurality of first through holes is divided by a plurality of second through holes that are smaller than the first through holes. With such a configuration, the cell aggregate having the desired size can be easily sampled.

Abstract: A filtration filter device according to the present invention includes a filtration filter that filters out a filtration object contained in a fluid and a housing in which the filtration filter is disposed. The housing includes a fluid inlet passage that faces one main surface of the filtration filter and a fluid outlet passage that faces the other main surface of the filtration filter. An inner peripheral surface of at least one of the fluid inlet passage and the fluid outlet passage is undulated.

Abstract: A filtration filter is suitable for performing cross-flow filtration by using a metallic porous membrane. A metallic porous membrane has a membrane portion for filtering filtration objects contained in a fluid and a held portion provided at its outer periphery. A first frame member and a second frame member hold the held portion of the metallic porous membrane there between. The held portion has a bent portion bent to a second principal surface side opposing a first principal surface of the membrane portion. The first frame member is in contact with the held portion at the first principal surface side of the metallic porous membrane. The second frame member is disposed at an inner side portion of the first frame member and is in contact with the held portion at the second principal surface side of the metallic porous membrane.

Abstract: A filtration filter includes a porous metal film that filters out a filtration object contained in a fluid, and a support base member that is disposed on at least one main surface of the porous metal film and that supports the porous metal film. The support base member has an opening that exposes a part of the porous metal film. An inner peripheral surface of the opening has undulations formed along its periphery.

Abstract: A film-shaped aperture array includes a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposed to each other and a plurality of apertures penetrating the first principal surface and the second principal surface. A projection projecting from the second principal surface in a normal direction of the second principal surface is provided in at least one region in contact with three or more of the plurality of apertures in a part of the second principal surface, when viewed in plan from the normal direction of the second principal surface.

Abstract: A filtration filter comprises a metallic mesh having a circumferential shape and radially inner and outer portions. The metallic mesh is adapted to filter out a filtration target object contained in a fluid passing through the membrane. First and second frame members hold the outer portion there between so as to create first and second bent sections separated by a transition section extending between the first and second bent sections. The transition section includes at least one streaked projection.

Abstract: There is disclosed an electroluminescent element which glows brightly and retains its high luminance over a long period of time. It is characterized in that the phosphor layer contains a cyanoethyl resin as the binder resin and the dielectric layer contains a powder of ferroelectric substance dispersed in a floroplastic as the binder resin. The dielectric layer contains as the binder resin a mixture of a fluoroplastic which is solid at normal temperature and a fluoroplastic which is liquid at normal temperature.
