Abstract: In a method for finely pulverizing an organic compound 5 in treatment target liquid 2 to manufacture fine particles of the organic compound 5, a laser beam having a wavelength which is longer than the light absorption band of the organic compound 5 or corresponds to an absorption wavelength of solvent is irradiated to the treatment target liquid 2 to finely pulverize the organic compound 5, thereby manufacturing fine particles of the organic compound 5. According to this manufacturing method, the fine particles can be manufactured with sufficiently preventing photochemical reactions of the organic compound 5 in the treatment target liquid 2. Accordingly, a fine particle manufacturing method and apparatus that can manufacture fine particles while sufficiently preventing photochemical reactions in the organic compound, fine particles, and injectable agent and a manufacturing method for the injectable agent can be implemented.

Abstract: With this invention, in a nanoparticle production method, wherein nanoparticles are produced by irradiating a laser light irradiation portion 2a of a to-be-treated liquid 8 with a laser light, in which suspended particles are suspended, to pulverize the suspended particles in laser light irradiation portion 2a, laser light irradiation portion 2a of to-be-treated liquid 8 is cooled. In this case, by the cooling of to-be-treated liquid 8, the respective suspended particles are cooled in their entireties. When the portion 2a of this to-be-treated liquid 8 is irradiated with the laser light, the laser light is absorbed at the surfaces of the suspended particles at portion 2a. Since to-be-treated liquid 8 is cooled during this process, significant temperature differences arise between the interiors and surfaces of the suspended particles and between the surfaces of the suspended particles and the to-be-treated liquid at laser light irradiation portion 2a, and highly efficient nanoparticulation is realized.

Abstract: An absorbance measuring pipette includes a pipette and a pipette adapter. The pipette adapter has a pipette attachment portion for receiving the front end of the pipette and a tip attachment portion for attaching a tip and is attachable between the pipette and the tip. The pipette adapter has an inner space continuous with respective internal spaces of the pipette and tip upon attachment. The pipette adapter includes a test light introducing window for introducing a test light into the inner space from outside and a reflecting mirror for reflecting toward the sample suction port of the tip by way of an opening in the tip attachment portion the test light introduced into the inner space through the test light introducing window.

Abstract: The liquid treating method according to the present invention introduces a bubble into liquid phase and applies vibration waves, such as ultrasonic waves, from each sides of the bubble. Collision of the vibration waves with the bubble imparts the compression pressure to the bubble. This effect is used to dissolve a gas forming the bubble into the liquid phase or to improve liquid quality of this liquid phase.

Abstract: The present invention provides an optical device according to this invention comprising a light transmitting optical member of a high molecular material containing mobile ions, and a pair of electrodes formed on surfaces of the optical member, a required potential difference being provided between the electrodes so as to cause ion conduction in the optical member and to reversibly vary a refractive index of the optical member. According to this invention, a refractive index is reversibly varied due to ion conduction, whereby the modulation of a transmitted beam or a reflected beam by the optical device can be reversibly controlled.
