Abstract: An image acquisition device includes: a stage on which a sample is placed; a drive unit; a first irradiation optical system; a second irradiation optical system; a beam splitter; a pupil dividing element; a first imaging lens; a first imaging element; an analysis unit; a control unit; a second imaging lens; and a second imaging element, a first irradiation light irradiation range captured by the first irradiation optical system includes a second imaging region captured by the second imaging element, the second imaging region is located behind a first imaging region in a scanning direction, and the control unit controls a focus position of an objective lens based on focus information before capturing the second imaging region by the second imaging element.

Abstract: There is provided a container that makes it possible to suppress intrusion of bacteria from the tip of a pleat part into the inside of the container. The container includes: a main body that includes a body part defining a containing portion and a flange part extending outward from an upper portion of the body part; and a lid that is joined to the flange part of the main body via an outer edge seal portion so as to cover the containing portion, the lid being formed by a lid member folded back at a fold-back portion such that portions of the lid member overlap each other. The lid has: a pleat part that includes the portions of the lid member overlapping each other and that extends from an edge of one side to an edge of the other side of the lid in a first direction; and a first lid part and a second lid part that are formed by the lid member and that are arranged on opposite sides of the pleat part.

Abstract: An optical unit includes an input portion configured to have measurement light having a wavelength extending from an ultraviolet region to a visible region input thereto, an optical system configured to condense the measurement light in a state where a chromatic aberration is caused to occur, and an opening portion configured not to image light having a wavelength in the visible region and to image light having a wavelength in the ultraviolet region of the measurement light having a chromatic aberration having occurred therein.

Abstract: A sun visor for a vehicle has a visor body and a pivot shaft. The visor body shields a vehicle cabin from light that would otherwise enter. The pivot shaft is inserted into the visor body and rotatably supports the visor body about the axis. The visor body has a joint member therein for joining the visor body with the pivot shaft. The joint member is extended or contracted when the visor body receives an impact force in a direction corresponding to the visor body slipping-off of the pivot shaft. Therefore the joint member inhibits the visor body from slipping-off of the pivot shaft in an axial direction by elastic or cushioning action, adsorbing at least a portion of the impact force. The joint member can be a resilient member or a dampener for example.

Abstract: A grounded vacuum container is filled, the container containing a plurality of substrates, with a CVD gas. A voltage is applied to the substrates to generate plasma around each of the substrates along with grounding a plurality of ground members arranged at positions opposite to the deposition surface of each of the substrates inside the vacuum container. A coating is deposited onto a plurality of substrates in a method for deposition that attracts ions within the plasma to the substrates and deposits a coating onto the substrates.

Abstract: In an optical pickup device employing a high-frequency superposition method, a high-frequency superposition circuit is mounted on an FPC. With this arrangement, the number of steps for attaching printed boards may be reduced and improvements in workability of assembly achieved. By electrically connecting a conductive plated surface that is conductive with a GND pattern formed on a projecting portion of the FPC with a conductive plated surface of a reinforcing plate, the GND pattern may be connected to a wide GND at a short distance, and actions of restricting extraneous emission may be improved.
