Abstract: The apparatus and method for measuring the intraocular pressure of an eyeball is constructed so that the image of the fluorescent ring around the flattened surface of the eyeball is formed to measure the area of the flattened surface, and that the intraocular pressure of the eyeball is calculated in accordance with the pressure against the eyeball and the area of the flattened surface corresponding thereto.

Abstract: A developer for a light-sensitive lithographic printing plate having an o-quinonediazide-containing light-sensitive layer is disclosed. The developer is comprised of an aqueous solution of an alkali silicate containing an organic boron compound. The organic boron compound is represented by the formula ##STR1## the substituents are defined within the specification. By utilizing the developer of the invention it is possible to provide excellent developing power, development stability, processability and preferred forming properties during development.

Abstract: A developing solution for a light-sensitive printing plate having an o-quinonediazide-containing light-sensitive layer is disclosed. The developing solution is comprized of an aqueous solution of alkali silicate and a chelating agent. By including the chelating agent within the developing solution it is possible to carry out development utilizing water which contains typical impurities such as insoluble calcium silicate or magnesium silicate for a long period of time which substantially has no formation of insoluble matter within the developing machine. Use of the developing solution substantially eliminate the formation of any deposit within the spraying pipes and nozzles of the developing machine which it is used in connection with.

Abstract: A diaphragm device in which a plurality of diaphragm blades are arranged in partly overlapping relation to one another. This diaphragm device provides a diaphragm aperture of a substantially elongated circle having its length extending in a specific direction, when stopped down beyond a given diaphragm aperture. More particularly, the diaphragm aperture is defined by a pair of arcs which oppose each other in a direction perpendicular to the specific direction passing through the center of the aperture and another pair of arcs which are disposed on the opposite sides in the aforesaid specific direction, while the distance of either one of the pair of arcs to the center of the aperture is shorter than the distance of either of the other pair of arcs to the center of the aperture. These pairs of arcs define portions of the inner peripheral edges of the diaphragm blades.
