Abstract: The invention allows for restriction of radial and axial movements of a shaft by a simple structure. A shaft supporting structure includes a base (3) provided with a bearing (7), and a first shaft (23) arranged at the bearing (7). The shaft supporting structure further includes a helical torsion spring (4) fitted on the first shaft (23). The base (3) includes a first engagement hole (31a), and a hooked section (74) engaging with first and second arm sections (41, 42) of the helical torsion spring (4), respectively. The helical torsion spring (4) presses the first shaft (23) onto the bearing (7) in a radial direction of the shaft by an elastic force generated by engagement between the first arm section (41) and the first engagement hole (31a) of the base (3), and engagement between the second arm section (42) and the hooked section (74) of the base (3). A portion of the second arm section (42) faces an axial end face of the first shaft (23).

Abstract: The sample measuring face of a dielectric resonator (20) is placed near a standard sample having a known dielectric constant at a fixed interval D. While appropriately varying the dielectric constant and thickness of the standard sample under the above condition, the variation of the resonance frequency of the dielectric resonator (20) is measured for each varied dielectric constant and thickness to draw a calibration curve of the varied resonance frequency depending on the dielectric constant and thickness. Under the same condition where calibration curve is drawn, the variation of the resonance frequency of the dielectric resonator (20) for a sample having a known thickness is measured. The dielectric constant of the sample is found from the measurement value and the calibration curve. The dielectric constant of not only a sheetlike sample but also a three-dimensional molded article or a liquid sample can be measured easily.

Abstract: It is possible to generate a resonance mode such that a dielectric resonator (20) can be resonated and an electric field vector leaking out from the resonator (20) exists by arranging antennas (22a and 22b) for the resonator (20). When a sample (22) has dielectric anisotropy, the resonance frequency of the resonator (20) varies when the sample (25) or resonator (20) is rotated. The dielectric anisotropy of the sample (25) is found from the variance of the resonance frequency. Thus the dielectric anisotropy of not only a sheet-like sample, but also such a sample as a three-dimensional molded sample can be measured.

Abstract: An automatic focus adjusting system for a surface inspection microscope including a sheet setting stage, a microscope for observing a sheet surface set on the stage, a television camera for picking up an image observed by the microscope and a focus adjusting system. The system irradiates the back or front of an optically transparent sheet set on the stage creating an image on the front surface of the sheet. The image's contrast varies depending on the inner physical structure of the sheet. The television camera's video signals are processed by a focus evaluation circuit. The image contrast of the sheet's front surface image generates a contrast frequency allowing the focus evaluation circuit to calculate the focus evaluation degree. The system automatically adjusts the stage and compares the present focus evaluation degree with the prior focus evaluation degree.
