Abstract: An information processing apparatus realizing an enlargement function without system-level customization is provided. The information processing apparatus includes an application unit, an enlargement control unit, and a screen control unit. The application unit generates and draws an image in a normal display area. The enlargement control unit enlarges the image drawn in the normal display area, and generates and draws an enlarged image including part of the enlarged image in an expansion display area. The screen control unit displays the image drawn in the normal display area on a display when the enlargement function is invalid, and displays the enlarged image drawn in the expansion display area on the display when the enlargement function is valid.

Abstract: A colorimeter includes an integrating sphere, a light source, a light receiver and a low reflectance unit. The integrating sphere has a first aperture to be covered with a sample and a second aperture opposing the first aperture configured to allow reflected light from the sample to pass therethrough. The light source irradiates an inner wall of the integrating sphere with light. The light receiver receives, through the second aperture, the reflected light from a surface of the sample that enters the integrating sphere through the first aperture when the light from the light source is reflected by the inner wall, and is applied to the sample through the first aperture, and outputs a signal in accordance with the reflected light. The low reflectance unit is disposed around the light receiver to face an internal space of the integrating sphere, and has lower light reflectance than the inner wall.
