  • Patent number: 11345164
    Abstract: The present invention provides a thermal print head capable of better performing printing on a printing medium; the thermal print head including: a substrate (1), formed with single crystal semiconductor; a resistor layer (4), including a plurality of heating portions (41) arranged in a main scan direction; and a wiring layer (3), configuring a charging path to the plurality of heating portions. The substrate includes: a main surface (11), being a surface opposite to the resistor layer; and a convex portion (13), disposed as protruding from the main surface and extending in the main scan direction. The convex portion includes: an inclining surface (132), inclining relative to the main surface and extending in a linear manner when viewing from the main scan direction; and a curving surface (131), disposed, in a protruding direction of the convex portion, on a position farther away from the main surface than the inclining surface, and curving in a manner that protrudes toward the protruding direction.

  • Patent number: 10401276
    Abstract: A method for generating a three-dimensional luminescence image includes setting a focal interval between two-dimensional images in accordance with localization of luminescence in a three-dimensional sample. The three-dimensional sample contains a plurality of cells prepared to be luminescent and has a three-dimensional shape. The two-dimensional images have mutually different focal planes and are acquired at the focal interval. The method further includes acquiring a two-dimensional image set including two-dimensional images at the focal interval that is set by imaging the three-dimensional sample under an unirradiated condition; and generating a three-dimensional luminescence image by combining the two-dimensional images included in the two-dimensional image set together.

  • Patent number: 10138527
    Abstract: A method for monitoring differentiation into cardiac muscle cells includes keeping, in an alive state, cells into which a reporter gene of luminescent protein configured to vary in luminescence intensity according to an expression of myocardial differentiation marker gene is introduced. The method includes acquiring a luminescence image as a still image by imaging light emitted from the cells in a light shielding state. The method includes acquiring sequential images with illuminating the cells. The method includes associating biological information obtained from the sequential images with biological information obtained from the still image.
