[Solution] Provided is a spectacle-style display device for medical use, including: a display unit through which a surgical field is visible, and which can display an image; two imaging units that image the surgical field; an image processing unit that, on a basis of captured images imaged by the imaging units, generates a three-dimensional enlarged image to be displayed on the display unit; and a control unit that modifies a magnification of the enlarged image on a basis of a user instruction.

Abstract: A cylindrical roller bearing includes a flanged outer race having two inwardly extending flanges. One of the flanges is a flange ring separate from the outer race and fixed to the outer race. Cylindrical rollers are mounted between the outer race and a flangeless inner race, and retained by a retainer which are located radially inwardly of the pitch circle of the cylindrical rollers. With this arrangement, it is not necessary to reduce the widths of pillars of the retainer even if the load capacity is increased by increasing the size or the number of the cylindrical rollers, so that it is possible to increase the load capacity while ensuring strength of the retainer. Also, even if the inner race is separated from the bearing, it is possible to prevent separation of the cylindrical rollers as well as the retainer, which retains the cylindrical rollers, from the outer race.
