  • Patent number: 8129697
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a laser scanning microscope capable of acquiring suitable fluorescent images. A fluorescence detection unit 26 measures a plurality of intensities of fluorescent light of different wavelengths that is excited by irradiation of laser light and emitted from a sample 12.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 18, 2010
    Date of Patent: March 6, 2012
    Assignee: Nikon Corporation
    Inventors: Shigeyuki Mano, Koichi Satoh, Erik Martinus Marie Manders, Antonius Ronald Hoebe
  • Patent number: 7943909
    Abstract: A fluorescence detecting apparatus includes a light detecting device disposed in a light path of fluorescence generated in an illuminated area of a specimen and a barrier filter disposed in the light path toward the light detecting device to exhibit transparency for each of a plurality of fluorescences having separated wavelength bands.

  • Publication number: 20110006217
    Abstract: A fluorescence detection unit measures light quality of fluorescence from a sample excited by irradiation of a laser beam, and a transmitted light detection unit measures light quantity of the laser beam transmitted through the sample. A CLEM processing unit stops irradiation of the laser beam at every one pixel correspondence range scanning time, in one of a case where light quality of fluorescence at a lower limit value determination time is less than a lower limit threshold, and a case where light quantity of fluorescence is an upper limit threshold or more during the one pixel correspondence range scanning time. The CLEM processing unit extrapolates light quantity of the transmitted light that is supposed to be measured if exposure is performed for the one pixel correspondence range scanning time, and an image obtaining unit obtains a transmitted light image based on the extrapolated light quantity.

  • Patent number: 7515823
    Abstract: An intermittent photo-taking device for a microscope includes a condition setting means that sets an intermittent photo-taking condition composed of a given time lapse and the number of frames to be photo-taken, an image obtaining means that obtains an image taken under the intermittent photo-taking condition, a setting change means that changes the intermittent photo-taking condition in the middle of an operation based on the intermittent photo-taking condition set by the condition setting means, and a memory that, when the intermittent photo-taking condition has been changed by the setting change means, stores an image taken under the changed intermittent photo-taking condition following an image taken under the intermittent photo-taking condition before changing.

  • Patent number: 6356295
    Abstract: An image transmission system includes a plurality of image transmission devices which are connected by a network. Each of the image transmission devices comprises a frame memory for storing input image data from another image transmission device, a display device for displaying an image on the basis of the data stored in the frame memory, and a storage device different from the frame memory. The image transmission device also stores the image data in the storage device when storing the image data in the frame memory.
