Abstract: A controller provides a plurality of first sections with numerical information on a first scale. The plurality of first sections are obtained by dividing a recording surface of a magnetic disk in units of first memory areas in each of which a first volume of data can be written by an SMR method. The first scale corresponds to a sequence of the first sections. The controller provides a plurality of second sections with numerical information on a second scale. The plurality of second sections are obtained by dividing the recording surface of the magnetic disk in units of second memory areas in each of which the first volume of data can be written by a CMR method. The second scale corresponds to a sequence of the second sections. The controller executes a plurality of commands in order based on a numerical information on the first scale or the second scale.

Abstract: A cell culture substrate includes a base, a first segment disposed on the base and occupying a part of one surface of the cell culture substrate, and a second segment disposed on the base and occupying another part of the one surface. The second segment is formed of a metal material and thus has a relatively higher surface free energy than the first segment formed of an inorganic material. The second segment is disposed such that a percentage of an area of the second segment in a total area of the first segment and the second segment increases in a gradation direction (first direction) along the one surface.
