Abstract: In order to simultaneously observe a transparent object from two directions, first and second beam paths containing first and second images from two directions are separated using a prism to reflect the second beam path yet pass the first beam path. The length of the second beam path is caused to be different from that of the first beam path. Then the first and second beam paths are combined so that the first and second images may be viewed simultaneously. The different beam path lengths result in the first and second images being formed at the same position. As a result, the images carried by the first and second beam paths, both passing through a single objective lens, may be viewed simultaneously at a single location.

Abstract: In a method of measuring the specific activity of dehydrogenases by using a specimen prepared through a first procedure of causing dehydrogenases in tissue flake to be measured to be reacted with a substrate for a predetermined time and dyeing the same with tetrazolium salt and a second procedure of dyeing the protein in the flake with naphthol yellows, there is provided a third procedure of washing the enzyme-dyed flake with alcohol for a predetermined time after the first procedure. A specimen prepared through the first, second and third procedures is is microphotometered by the use of three predetermined wavelengths in the vicinity of 450 nm, 570 nm and 700 nm, and the specific activity of the dehydrogenases is measured from data obtained corresponding to the respective wavelengths.

Abstract: A Wankel type rotary engine comprising a rotor housing composed of an inner wall portion defining a trochoidal inner peripheral surface, an outer wall portion, enclosing said inner wall portion and stay portions interconnecting the inner and outer wall portions, while a cooling water passage is defined between the inner and outer wall portions, wherein an oscillation damping layer is provided on at least a part of the surface of the inner wall portion which faces the cooling water passage.

Abstract: A carburetor for use with a stratified charge rotary piston engine including a first supply system having a main fuel supply system and a slow/idle fuel supply system and adapted to supply a fuel-air mixture and a second supply system adapted to supply only air, wherein a second slow/idle supply system is provided to supply an additional fuel when an engine is operating in a slow speed or idling condition and/or the exhaust gas temperature of the engine is below a predetermined value.
