Abstract: To provide a microchip that is easily handled. Provided is a microchip having a plate shape and including: a sample liquid inlet into which a sample liquid is introduced; a main flow path through which the sample liquid introduced from the sample liquid inlet flows; and a sorting flow path into which a target sample is sorted from the sample liquid, in which the sample liquid inlet and a terminal end of the sorting flow path are formed on a same side surface. Furthermore, a sample sorting kit including the microchip is also provided. Moreover, a microparticle sorting device on which the microchip is mounted is also provided.

Abstract: An optical apparatus may include spectroscope means for splitting light irradiated from a light source into multiple color rays, polarizer means for polarizing the multiple color rays split by the spectroscope means, and trimming filters each trimming a wavelength component of at least one of the multiple color rays polarized through the polarizer means and guiding the resulting ray to an optical modulator, wherein at least one of the trimming filters is sloped about an optical axis.

Abstract: A projection optical system and an image projection apparatus that are small in size and can achieve projection with a wide angle while a good image forming performance is assured includes a first lens group having a negative refracting power and a second lens group also having a negative refracting power. The first and second lens groups are arranged in order from the projection side. The first lens group includes a negative meniscus lens that has a concave surface directed to the projection side and formed as an aspherical reflecting surface.

Abstract: A video signal processing apparatus inputting a plurality of video signals, making the plurality of video signals in parallel in order to display them as one image and setting peripheral parts of images which are adjacent to each other when they are placed in parallel as overlapped areas, and being able to execute a necessary correction processing about the video signals corresponding to the overlapped areas comprising: a remote controller being able to set the correction starting position and the correction end position, a correction data memory storing the correction data corresponding to the correction starting position and the correction end position set by the remote controller, and a control portion reading out the predetermined correction data from the correction data memory based on the correction starting position and the correction end position in a case where the correction starting position and the correction end position have been set.

Abstract: A video projection apparatus for multi-stacking use comprises a pipe-shaped member of a frame configuration formed around side walls of a video projector body having a video projector, and a space portion formed along the pipe-shaped member. Therefore, carrying and stacking this video projection apparatus is facilitated.

Abstract: An image projection system for projecting an image obtained on an image field onto a screen through a projection lens comprises a plurality of spacers overlaid with each other and arranged between the image field and the lens, each of the spacers having first and second surfaces through which the image is projected and an angle defined by the first and second surfaces being a predetermined value, an adjusting device for each of the spacers for adjusting a rotational angle of the spacers on a rotational axis substantially parallel to an image projection direction, and a fixing device for fixing the plurality of spacers relative to the image field and the lens.
