  • Publication number: 20260335930
    Abstract: A substrate having a main surface on which a plurality of accommodation parts are formed, a wiping member having a shape that follows that of the main surface, and a magnet disposed on the side of the substrate that is opposite from the wiping member. First, the wiping member is moved forward, whereby a hydrophilic liquid containing a plurality of magnetic beads is spread onto the main surface. The magnet is moved forward together with the wiping member while magnetic force is caused to act on the magnetic beads, whereby the magnetic beads and the hydrophilic liquid are accommodated in the accommodation parts. Second, a hydrophobic liquid arranged on the movement-direction rear side of the wiping member is spread onto the main surface due to the movement of the wiping member, whereby the surface of the hydrophilic liquid within the accommodation parts is covered by the hydrophobic liquid.

  • Publication number: 20260264383
    Abstract: It is possible to provide a laminated sheet that is applicable to large molded articles, exhibits excellent rigidity, particularly excellent homogeneity of in-plane rigidity when formed into a large area, and has minimal variation in mechanical properties. The laminated sheet of the present invention has a structure in which layer a, comprising a biaxially oriented polypropylene film, and layer b, comprising an olefin-based resin with a melting point of 110 to 160° C., are alternately laminated. When one side direction of the laminated sheet is defined as an x-direction and a direction perpendicular thereto as a y-direction, a tensile modulus of elasticity in the x-direction and a tensile modulus of elasticity in the y-direction at three positions—namely, a center position in the y-direction, and two positions located 200 mm from this center position in the y-direction—are all within a range of 2000 to 5000 MPa.

  • Publication number: 20250017463
    Abstract: A fundus observation apparatus includes an optical system, two concave mirrors, and a holding member. The optical system is configured to project light from a light source onto a fundus of an eye to be examined, and to receive returning light from the fundus. The two concave mirrors have concave reflective surfaces, respectively, configured to guide the light from the optical system to the fundus, and to guide the returning light to the optical system. The holding member is configured to be capable of holding the two concave mirrors in a state where the concave mirrors are arranged on both sides of the holding member so that the concave mirrors are positioned in a default relative position in a predetermined one-dimensional direction or predetermined two-dimensional directions.
